Em
Little girl sleeping in dreams of peace, 
Mommy's been gone a long time,
Am
Daddy comes home and she still sleeps, 
                                              Em
Waiting for the world's worst crime.

    Am
And he comes up the stairs like he always does,
                            Em
And he never turns on the light,
    Am
And she's wide awake, scared to death,
    C
She smells his lust and she smells his sweat
    Am
Curled in a ball she holds her breath
G
Praying to a God that she's never met


Chorus:
Em        D       Am
Don't let daddy kiss me,
Em        D       C          
Don't let daddy kiss me
        Em
Good night


Em
Little girl lies by her daddy's side
Em
And she listens to him breathe
Em    
She knows there's something awful wrong
Em    
That she's far too young to see
Em      Am
And she knows she can't tell anyone
                           Em
She's so full of guilt and shame,
Am
And if she tells she'll be all alone
       C
They'd steal her daddy and they'd steal her home
    Am
And it's not so bad when daddy leaves her alone
C
Praying to her God with his heart of stone


Em        D       Am
Don't let daddy kiss me,
Em        D       C          
Don't let daddy kiss me
        Em
Good night

Em
And daddy lies by his daughter's side, 
    Em
And he sleeps both deep and well
   Em(upstroke)
No nightmares come to him tonight, 
Em
Though his daughter lives in hell



        Am
For his seed is sown where it should not be
                                Em
And the beast in his mind don't care
        Am
And the only sounds are the tears that fall

F
C
Little girl turns her face to the wall
Am
She knows that no one hears her call,
C
But it seems like God hears nothing at all



Em        D       Am
Don't let daddy kiss me,
Em        D       Am
Don't let daddy kiss me,
Em        D       C          
Don't let daddy kiss me
(fill 2)        
           Good night
Oh dear
