G C Em D
G C Em D
[Verse 1]
G C
Watching you laugh 'til you can barely breathe
Em D
Doing tricks out on the trampoline
G C
Still refusing to brush your teeth
Em D C
At the end of the day
[Verse 2]
G C
Trying to catch you a lightning bolt
Em D
Four-leaf clovers and a pot of gold
G C
You still don't like doing what you're told
Em D C
But I guess that's okay
[Chorus 1]
G Em
'Cause pretty soon you'll be twenty one
D C
Out on the town just having fun
G Em
But I'll still remember you, my son
D C G
From way back when

Pretty soon you'll be thirty-two

You'll call me up out of the blue

And you'll still sound like the kid I knew

From way back when

You came home crying this afternoon
Em D
Some kid at school said some things about you
G C
Now you're feeling some kind of blue
Em D C
That I can't make go away
[Verse 4]
G C
You are moving and you are becoming
Em D
I guess this is where you start running
G C
Out of the door and into the sun
Em D C
And I have to be okay
[Chorus 2]
G Em
'Cause pretty soon you'll be forty-three
D C
You'll be looking back just like me
G Em
And we'll laugh about how it use to be
D C G
Way back when
G Em
Maybe by then you'll live far away
D C
Some other city, and some other state
G Em
Please come home for Christmas and it'll be great
D C G
Like way back when

Of whatever it is you love so much

Pretty soon you'll be older than me
D C
And I'll be a part of history

I hope you'll carry the best of me

From way back when

I know you'll carry the best of me
D C G
From way back when
