[Verse 1]
E                                        C#m/A
Hospital to home was a four minute drive
       E                                A
With a baby on board made it thirty five
   E                              C#m/A
We didn't sleep a wink that night
     E                                        A
Just laid by that crib singing nursery rhymes
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                        E               A/E E
These are the days that we'll want back
 
[Verse 2]
    E                          C#m/A
The kindergarten drop off line
    E                                   A
His first day of school didn't even cry
E                               C#m/A
That was when we knew that life
      E                          A
Had a funny way of passing us by
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                        E               A
These are the days that we'll want back
 
[Chorus]
          C#m      A
Tell them bed time stories
           E         B
Give' em a kiss good night
          C#m     A
Darling before we know it
         E             B
This old house will be quiet
             C#m         A
I know we're tired right now
                  E      B
But someday we'll laugh about it
              C#m      A       B
Let's slow it down and raise a glass
                        E               A/E E
These are the days that we'll want back
 
[Verse 3]
E                                C#m/A
Took us a day to build that bike
             E                                   A
Felt like we only got a minute to watch him ride
         E                                 C#m/A
Juggling dinner, school and practice times
          E                                           A
Trying to make it through to that glass of cheap wine
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                        E
These are the days that we'll want back
      A
We'll want back
 
[Chorus]
          C#m      A
Tell them bed time stories
           E         B
Give' em a kiss good night
          C#m     A
Darling before we know it
         E             B
This old house will be quiet
             C#m         A
I know we're tired right now
                  E      B
But someday we'll laugh about it
              C#m      A       B
Let's slow it down and raise a glass
                        E               C#m B
These are the days that we'll want back
 
[Bridge]
           C#m       A     E         B
All of the countless crazy sleepless nights
           C#m             A              E             B
All of the firsts' and the lasts' and the tears that we cried
           C#m           A           E            B
All of the how does this work Dad and Mom tell me why
           C#m           A          E
Sometimes growing up feels like goodbye
 
[Verse 4]
E                                       C#m/A
There was time when we were your world
          E                             A
Now you're moving on to marry your girl
   E                                C#m/A
Go buy her a house and call it home
     E                               A    E*
Give her a life and some kids of her own
 
[Chorus]
          C#m      A
Tell them bed time stories
           E         B
Give' em a kiss good night
        C#m      A
Cause before you know it
         E             B
That old house will be quiet
              C#m        A
I know you're wild right now
              E      B
Someday we'll laugh about it
              C#m       A        B
Let's raise a glass and toast to that
             C#m     A       B
We'll always be your mom and dad
                        E               A
These are the days that we'll want back
