D        G
I know a girl
Asus               D
she puts the color inside my world
D                     G
but she's just like a maze
      Asus                   D   
where all of the walls continually change
D                   G
and i've done all i can
Asus                               G     
to stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
D                   G 
now i'm starting to see
Asus                             G
maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Chorus:
D          G            Asus   D
fathers be good to your daughters
D                  Asus       A
daughters will love like you do
D            G           Am       D
girls become loVers who turn into mothers
D             G             Asus     D  
so mothers be good to your daughters too

Verse 2:
D                G
oh, you see that skin?
Asus                             D
it's the same she's been standing in
D                        G
since the day she saw him walking away
Asus
now she's left
                       D
cleaning up the mess he made

Chorus:
D          G             Asus   D
fathers be good to your daughters 
D              Asus          A 
daughters will love like you do
D            G          Am        D
girls become lovers who turn into mothers
D             G             Asus     D   
so mothers be good to your daughters too

Reprise: 
G    Am      D  
boys you can breaK
       D            G             G 
you'll find out how much they can take
A 
boys will be strong
Asus
and boys soldier on
                  Am            G
but boys would be gone without WARMTH from   
   G       Asus     D
a woman's good good heart
             Asus
on behalf of every man
                G
looking out for every girl
                       Asus           D 
you are the god and the weight of her world
