Intro:
Bm7add4-->Em7-->Em7/A-->D6-->Bm7add4-->Em7-->Em7/A-->D

Verse:
Bm7add4       Em7            Em7/A                   D
  I know a girl she puts the color inside of my world.

    Bm7add4              Em7                    Em7/A                    D
But she's just like a maze, where all of the walls all continually change.

Em7  D  Bm7add4         Em7                     Em7/A                     D6 
    And I've done all I can to stand on her steps with my heart in my hand.

Em7     Bm7add4         Em7                Em7/A                D
    Now I'm starting to see, maybe its got nothing to do with me.

Chorus:

Bm7add4        Em7       Em7/A   D
Fathers be good to your daugh-ters.

Bm7add4           E7           Em7/A   D6
Daughters will love like you do.

Bm7add4       Em7          Em7/A           D
Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers 
   
    Bm7add4     Em7           Em7/A     D6
So, mothers be good to your daughters too.

Bm-->Em7-->Em7/A-->D-->Em7-->D/F#

Bm                  Em7
Oooh, you see that skin?

             Em7/A                   D    
It's the same she's been standing in...

Em7  D/F#      Bm               Em7                     Em7/A
    since the day, she saw him walking away, now she's left...

                         D       Em7
cleaning up the mess he made.

D/F#
So
(Chorus)

D9    Gm/D          D        A7/D                          Bm7add4
  Boys you can break, you'll find out how much they can take.

                   Em7                  D/F#                Gm11
Boys will be strong, and boys soldier on but boys would be gone without

                A13
warmth from a woman's good, good heart.

Bm7add4-->Em7-->Em7/A-->D-->Bm7add4-->Em7-->Em7/A-->D

              Bm7add4  Em7               Em7/A
On behalf of every man, looking out for every girl

D           Bm7add4      E7            Em7/A   
you are the god and the weight of her world.

D
So...(chorus)
