1.   All he could think about was       how I'm too young for this,

D                        G              - D                A                  G

    got my whole life ahead,       hell, I'm just a kid myself.

    All he could see were his dreams      going up in smoke,

D                       G                        - D                             A

    so much for ditching this town       and hanging out on the coast.

2.   A couple years of up all night       and a few thousand diapers later,

D                              G                      - D                             A

    Oh, yeah, he loves that little girl.

D                                   G              - D                          A

    Momma's waiting to tuck her in      as she fumbles up those stairs,

D                      G              - D                       A                   G

    she smiles back at him      dragging that teddy bear, sleep tight,

                              A

    blue eyes and bouncing curls.  

 

                         - D            A          G     - A

And he smiled,      there goes my life,
