  -----(capo 1st fret)-----
Intro - Asus - A = 2x's
In eAsusarly rush of moArning, trying to Asusget the kids to scAhool,
One's haDnging on my shirt tails, another one's loDcked up in her room,
                 Esus            E                  Esus                E   A- E  
I'm yelling up the stairs stop worrying about your hair You look fine,
Then they're fiAsusghting in the bAack seat and I'm Asusplaying refAeree,
Now someDone's gotta go, the moDment that we leave,
             Esus        E              Esus                   E   A-  D-  E  
And Everybody's late, I swear I can't wait, til they grow up,
(chorus)
          Asus-                    A    F#m    A  
Then they do - oo and that's how it is-is, 
It's just quEiet in the morning, 
Can't beliDeve how much you mEiss,
         Asus-               A    F#m   A  
All they do - oo and all they did-id,
                      Esus                   E    D- E  
You want all the dreams they dream to come true,
          Asus- A- Asus-A  
Then they do - oo,
(verse 2)
Now the yoAsusungest is starting coAllege she'll be lAsuseaving in the fAall,
And BreaDnna's latest boyfriend called to aDsked if we could talk,
           Esus            E                  Esus            E   A-   E  
I got the impression he's about to pop the question any day,
I look Asusover at their piActures AsusSitting in their frAames,
I sDee them as babies I guess tDhat'll never change,
                 Esus         E              Esus          E   A-  D- E  
You pray all their lives some day they will find happiness,
