Capo: 4th fret
[Intro]
G C/G G C/G
[Verse 1]
G
When you're my age
D Em D C
I hope the world is kinder than it seems to be right now
G D
And I hope the front page isn't just a reminder
Em D C
Of how we keep letting each other down
Bm C
When I was your age, things didn't seem to be this hard
Bm C D C
Riding bikes out on the street, playing tag in the backyard
[Chorus]
G
You'll outgrow your shoes
D
You'll outgrow your bed
Em D
You'll outgrow this house
C
Just don't forget
G
When you're all grown up
D
But you don't feel that way
Em D C
You're still gonna be my baby
G
Even when you're my age
[Verse 2]
G
When you're my age
D
You'll still be full of questions
Em D C
That I wish I had the answers to right now
G D
And those dark times might make you second guess it
Em D C
But I bet love will still be making the world go round
Bm
When I was your age
C
I didn't worry like you think you do
Bm C D C
Back then, innocence was something you could hold on to
[Chorus]
G
You'll outgrow your shoes
D
You'll outgrow your bed
Em D
You'll outgrow this house
C
Just don't forget
G
When you're all grown up
D
That you won't feel that way
Em D C
You're still gonna be my baby
G
Even when you're my age
[Verse 3]
G
When you have kids someday
D
I hope you teach them the Lord's prayer
Em D C
Before they go to bed at night
G D
Like my daddy for me and his mother did for him
Em D C
Well something about it just keeps you right
Bm C
And I hope you don't work too much overtime
Bm
So you can be right there beside them
C D C
When they close their little eyes
[Chorus]
G
'Cause they'll outgrow their shoes
D
They'll outgrow their beds
Em
They'll outgrow that house
C
And you can't stop it
G
Life will line your face
D
Time will turn the page
Em D C
But they're still gonna be your babies
Em D C
Just like you're still gonna be my baby
G C/G
Even when you're my age
G C/G G
Even when you're my age
When you're my age
I hope the world is kinder than it seems to be right now
And I hope the front page isn't just a reminder
Of how we keep letting each other down
When I was your age, things didn't seem to be this hard
Riding bikes out on the street, playing tag in the back yard
You'll outgrow your shoes
You'll outgrow your bed
You'll outgrow this house
Just don't forget
When you're all grown up
But you don't feel that way
You're still gonna be my baby
Even when you're my age
When you're my age
You'll still be full of questions that I wish I had the answers to right now
Those dark times might make you second guess it
But I bet love will still be making the world go round
When I was your age, I didn't worry like I think you do
Back then innocence was something you could hold onto
You'll outgrow your shoes
You'll outgrow your bed
You'll outgrow this house
Just don't forget
When you're all grown up
But you don't feel that way
You're still gonna be my baby
Even when you're my age
When you have kids someday, I hope you teach them the Lord's Prayer
Before they go to bed at night
Like my daddy did for me and his mother before him
Well something about it just keeps you right
And I hope you don't work too much overtime
So you can be right there beside them when they close their little eyes
Cause they'll outgrow their shoes
They'll outgrow their beds
They'll outgrow that house
And you can't stop it
Life will line your face
Time will turn the page
But they're still gonna be your babies
Just like you're still gonna be my baby
Even when you're my age
Even when you're my age
