[Intro]
D D7 G D
[Verse]
D
You left Billy with the kid
D7 G C
And all the selfless things you did with Billy
D
You left your home town in the spring
D7 G C
And turned your back on everything
G
You thought your life would just go by
Em7 Asus7 A7
Without a pause to wonder, don't be silly
[Chorus]
D C G D
But you can't live your life in the baby seat
D C G D
You've got to stand on your own, don't admit defeat
[Verse]
He came down from his retreat
She saw him later on the street
He said "You are the only one
to recognize that I'm the son"
So she bent down and kissed his feet
And then that night, between the sheets she told him
[Chorus]
You can't live your life in the baby seat
You've got to stand on your own, don't admit defeat
You can't live your life in the baby seat
You've got to stand on your own, don't admit defeat
[Bridge]
A Em
40 days at sea
D A G D
Then she turned and said to me
A Em
"If we make it back
Bm A G A
I'll renounce Jack Kerouac
Bm A G A
And all of that romantic crap
Bm A G A N.C.
Like I'm an artist don't look back"
[Verse]
Now we're living somewhere else
We keep opinions to ourselves
But still we seek a sneaky peek at heaven
When the working week defeats us
If you think growing up is tough
Then you've just not grown enough, baby
[Chorus]
You can't live your life in the baby seat
You've got to stand on your own, don't admit defeat
You can't live your life in the baby seat
You've got to stand on your own, don't admit defeat
