Intro:  Bm7/11  Em7/9  G/A  D6 
 
Bm7/11    Em7/9 
I know a girl 
             G/A                  D6 
She puts the color inside of my world 
      Bm7/11           Em7/11   
But she's just like a maze 
                    G/A                     D6 
Where all of the walls all continually change 
     Bm7/11         Em7/11 
And I've done all I can  
                 G/A                        D6 
To stand on the steps with my heart in my hands 
Bm7/11              Em7/11 
Now I'm starting to see 
                  G/A              D6  
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me 
 
Bm7/11    E7             G/A        D6    
Fathers be good to your daughters, 
Bm7/11         E7           G/A    D6   
Daughters will love like you do, 
Bm7/11        E7        G/A          D6 
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers 
   Bm7/11        E7           G/A      D6 
So mothers be good to your daughters too 
 
SOLO : (Bm7/11  Em7/9  G/A  D6) 
 
Bm7/11             Em7/9 
Oh, you see that skin? 
           G/A                    D6 
It's the same shes been standing in 
           Bm7/11           Em7/9 
Since the day she saw him walking away 
          G/A  
Now shes left             
                           D6 
Cleaning up the mess he made 
 
    Bm7/11    E7             G/A        D6    
So Fathers be good to your daughters, 
Bm7/11         E7           G/A    D6   
Daughters will love like you do, 
Bm7/11        E7        G/A          D6 
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers 
   Bm7/11        E7           G/A      D6 
So mothers be good to your daughters too 

 
Am/D  Gm/D            D 
      Boys you can break 
        D7+                        Bm 
You'll find out how much they can take 
              Em 
Boys will be strong and  
             D/F# 
Boys soldier on 
                   Gm 
But boys would be gone  
without warmth from  
  A7 
A woman's good, good heart 
 
SOLO: (Bm7/11  Em7/9  G/A  D6) 
 
  (Bm7/11  Em7/9  G/A  D6) 
On behalf of every man 
Looking out for every girl 
You are the god and the weight of her world 
 
    Bm7/11    E7             G/A        D6    
So Fathers be good to your daughters, 
Bm7/11         E7           G/A    D6   
Daughters will love like you do, 
Bm7/11        E7        G/A          D6 
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers 
   Bm7/11        E7           G/A      D6 
So mothers be good to your daughters too
