The other version is okay, but I think this one sounds better. The way to play B* 
is at the bottom.

Asus2  E  B*  E

   Asus2        E
He didnt have to wake up
B* 	         E   
He'd been up all nite
      Asus2         E
Lay'n there in bed listen'n
      B*         C#m       B*
To his new born baby cry
   Asus2          E
He makes a pot of coffee
           B*            C#m
He splashes water on his face
    Asus2            E
His wife gives him a kiss and says
        B*   E
It gonna be OK

        Asus2     B*     E
It wont be like this for long
       Asus2                  B*
One day soon we'll look back laugh'n
         G#               C#m    B*
At the week we brought her home
     Asus2              E
This phase is gonna fly by
   B*   G#   C#m  B* Asus2 (one strum for each chord)
So baby just hold on
        B*             Asus2
It wont be like this for long

 Asus2  E  B*  E (x2)

           Asus2           E  
Four years later bout four thirty
     B*                 E
She's crawling in there bed
            Asus2            E
And when he drops her off at preschool
     B*               C#m   B*
She's clinging to his leg
    Asus2             E
The teacher peels her off of him
   B*              C#m
He says what can I do
    Asus2             E
She says now dont you worry
               B*             E
This will only last a week or two


        Asus2     B*     E
It wont be like this for long
        Asus2                B*
One day soon you'll drop her off
             G#             C#m    B*
And she wont even know your gone
    Asus2           E
This phase is gonna fly by
B*         G#        C#m  B* Asus2 (one strum for each chord)
If you can just hold on
        B*               Asus2
It wont be like this for long

        F#m                  
One day soon she'll be a teenager
       G#m
And at times he'll think she hates him
           Asus2         
Then he'll walk her down the isle
C#m              B*
And he'll raise her veil
  G#      C#m
But right now she up and cryin'
        B*
And the truth is that he dont mind
      Asus2
As he kisses her good night
               B*
And she says her prayers
   Asus2             E
He lays down there beside her
         B*               C#m
Till her eyes are finally closed
         Asus2          E
And just watch'n her it breaks his heart
      B*         E
Cause he already knows
        Asus2     B*     E
It wont be like this for long
        Asus2           B*
One day soon that little girl is gonna be 
G#               C#m    B*
All grown up and gone
          Asus2              E 
Yeah this phase is gonna fly by
B*         G#      C#m  B* Asus2 (one strum for each chord)
He's tryin to hold on
        B*             C#m   B*  Asus2
It wont be like this for long
        B*             Asus2
