No capo
On B7 he alternates his middle finger between the A string and E string
on the second fret once for every beat (A,E,A,E)
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
I was standin’ out at AStanfield, had to go Eaway
Saw a brand new B7baby and the mother’s faceE  
I knew that it was Aover, all those early Edays
Our babies are not B7babies, we’ll never be the Esame
[Verse 2]
Shopping cart full of Atoddlers at the SuperEstore
They were eatin’ B7Goldfish, askin’ for Emore
An old man lined up beAhind us, and he shook his Ehead
The kids were strangely B7quiet, I heard him when he Esaid
[Chorus]
You’ve got to Ahold on, it goes Eso fast
These early B7days, well, they don’t Elast
Got to enjoy Athem, they go Eso fast
The baby B7days, well, they don’t Elast
[Verse 3]
Look forward to the Aevenin’ when the monkeys go to Ebed
Then we talk all night aB7bout ’em, we feel half Edead
We used to be too Atired to eat Ein
but it’s a total B7crap shoot to eat Eout
[Chorus]
You’ve got to Ahold on, it goes Eso fast
These early B7days, well, they don’t Elast
Got to enjoy Athem, they go Eso fast
The baby B7days, well, they don’t Elast
[Verse 4]
Oh you’re gettin’ rid of Adiapers that you washed every Enight
And we’re saving up for B7date night so we can have our Efight
If its quiet for a Amoment, oh you better run upEstairs
‘Cause the toothpaste in the B7bathroom is redefining everyEwhere
[Chorus]
You’ve got to Ahold on, it goes Eso fast
These early B7days, well, they don’t Elast
Got to enjoy Athem, they go Eso fast
The baby B7days, well, they don’t Elast
[Verse 5]
Oh, I like the way you Atalk now, you talk like Eme
All the funny things you’re B7saying, you’re real good companEy
Oh, the odds are strong on Acrazy, and on love proEfound
you make our messy B7house feel like holy Eground
[Chorus]
N.C.
You’ve got to hold on, it goes so fast
N.C.
These early days, well, they don’t last
N.C.
Got to enjoy them, they go so fast
N.C.
The baby days, well, they don’t last
[Verse 6]
Shopping cart full of Atoddlers at the SuperEstore
They were eatin’ B7Goldfish, askin’ for Emore
An old man lined up beAhind us, and he shook his Ehead
The kids were strangely B7quiet, I heard him when he Esaid
