Verse 1
[G] [A] [Bm]
We get born, we get raised

We grow up and get a job and build a life on what it pays

[A] [D] [Bm] [G] [A]
Years go by these days
Verse 2
[G] [A] [Bm]
I look in the mirror, I see my dad
[D] [G]
I tell that rebel rousing teenage me that he ain't all that bad
[A] [Bm]
It felt like a week ago, I found the one
[D] [G]
Now God must be laughing 'cause he's sending us a son
[A] [G]
Hearing that baby's heartbeat was the kicker
[Em] [A]
There's only so many ticks in these tickers
