[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]

Tell them bed time stories

Give’ em a kiss good night

Darling before we know it

This old house will be quiet

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
