Capo: 4th fret
Key: B
[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
