The following chords are all very unusual and used through out "daughters". For simplicities sake in
terms of their names I called each of these chords the closest things to what 
their construction seemed to be.

Use Your ear and you can figure out the rhythm for how to play the chords.

Enjoy!

Intro:  Bm7 Em7 A7 D X3
    
Verse 1:
Bm7        Em7
I know a girl
            A7                     D
She puts the color inside of my world
      Bm7             Em7
But, she's just like a maze
                A7                     D    Em7   D
Where all of the walls all continually change
    Bm7           Em7
And I've done all I can
               A7                       D         
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hand
Bm7                Em7
Now I'm starting to see
              A7                  D
Maybe It's got nothing to do with me


Chorus:
Bm7         E7          A7    D
Fathers, be good to your daughters
Bm7            E7           A7      D
Daughters will love like you do
Bm7          E7        A7           D
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
Bm7           E7           A7     D
So mothers be good to your daughters too

Verse 2:
Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left cleaning up the mess he made

Chorus:
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too

Bridge:
F7 Eb7        D7
Boys, you can break
Dmaj7               Am7                  
You'll find out how much they can take
             E7sus4
Boys will be strong
                 F#m7
And boys soldier on
                 Gm7
But boys would be gone without warmth from
  A Asus4 A     Asus4
A woman's good, good heart

On behalf of every man

Looking out for every girl

You are the God and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
