B                           F#
Playing in the backyard, whispering in the dark
  A#7                     D#m
Catching fireflies in mason jars
   B                            F#                          A#7
It's two thousand and seven, the closest that I'll ever get to heaven
 A#        D#m
But I can't see that far

 B                        A#                           D#m
And you were still a baby, of course you'll always be my little lady
   A#
But then you were free
  B                              A#
Before you started caring 'bout what you were wearing
 D#m                  A#
God, you're turning into me


[Chorus]
  D#m                                  B
I want to hold your little face, just look at you and say
 F#              A#
It's not as good as it seems
  D#m                             B
'Cause growing up's forever, it never gets better
   F#              A#
Than being a kid with a dream

[Interlude]
B F# A# B (x2)

[Verse 2]
    B                   F#
I never knew you would care about me leaving
       A#7                                D#m
'Til I see you on the street when we're packing up the car
      B                 F#               A#
Your soft smile, those wide eyes, it's like you're five years old again
  D#m
Trying not to cry

Bm                        F#
My whole world's getting bigger now
    A#                   D#m
I promise you I'm not leaving you out
B                       F#                    A#                   D#m
Enjoy it now while it's here, 'cause this'll be you in a couple of years

B F# A#

[Chorus]
          D#m                           B
I want to hold your little face, just look at you and say
 F#           A#
It's not as good as it seems
        B
'Cause growing up's forever, it never gets better
 F#                       A#
Than being a kid with a dream

B F# A#

(single strum)
[Bridge]
     B          F#            A#                 D#m
My first night away, it sets in that this is my place now
 B          F#            A#                    D#m
I tried to go back in my mind but it's not the same now
      B                       F#
I'm really still a baby, and you're my little lady
        A#   (resume strum) D#m
There's so much we haven't seen
 B                                 F#
From a thousand miles away, I'll kiss you on the face
          A#           B
And say goodnight, and sweet dreams
