Daughters

(Bm7)I know a (Em7)girl;

she puts the (A7sus4)color inside of my world.

But (Bm7)she's just like a (Em7)maze where all of the (A7sus4)walls all continually (D)change.

And (Bm7)I've done all I (Em7)can to stand on her (A7sus4)steps with my heart in my hand.

Now (Bm7)I'm starting to (Em7)see maybe it's got (A7sus4)nothing to do with me.

(Bm7)Fathers, be (E7)good to your (A7sus4)(D)daughters.

(Bm7)Daughters will (E7)love like you (A7sus4)do.

(Bm7)Girls become (E7)lovers who (A7sus4)turn into (D)mothers.

So, (Bm7)mothers, be (E7)good to your (A7sus4)daughters,

(D)too.

(Bm)Oh, you see that (Em7)skin?

It's the (A7sus4)same she's been standing (D)in since the (Bm)day she saw him (Em7)walking away.

Now she's (A7sus4)left cleaning up the mess he (D)made.

So (Am)Boys you can (D)break.

You'll (A7)find out how much they can (Bm7)take.

Boys will be (Em7)strong, and boys soldier (D)on,

but boys would be (Gm7)gone without warmth from a (A7)woman's good,

good (E7)heart.

(D)On behalf of (Bm7)ev'ry man (E7)looking out for (A7sus4)ev'ry girl,

(D)you are the (Bm7)god and the (E7)weight of her (A7sus4)world.

(D)So, (Bm7)fathers, be (E7)good to your (A7sus4)(D)daughters.

(Bm7)Daughters will (E7)love like you (A7sus4)do.

(Bm7)Girls become (E7)lovers who (A7sus4)turn into (D)mothers.

So, (Bm7)mothers, be (E7)good to your (A7sus4)daughters,

(D)too. So, (Bm7)mothers, be (E7)good to your (A7sus4)daughters,

(D)too. So, (Bm7)mothers, be (E7)good to your (A7sus4)daughters,

(D)too.
