I know a girl
-3' 4 -3' 5 4
She puts the color 
5 6 5 5 5 -4 5
inside of my world
4 5
But she's 
6 5 4 -4 4 -3' 
just like a maze
4 -5 5 -4 -5 (-4)
Where all of the walls 
-4 -5 5 5 -4 5
all continually change
4 5  4 -4 5 -3'
And I've done all I can
4 -5 5 -4 -5 (-4)
To stand on her steps with
-4 -5 5 5 -4 5
my heart in my hands
4 -5 5   -6 6 5 -4
Now I'm starting to see
-3' 4 4 5 4   5 -4 4 4
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

5 6 -5 5 6 -5 5 4
Fathers, be good to your daughters
5 6 -6 -4 4 5 -4
Daughters will love like you do
5 6 -6 6 7 -6 
Girls become lovers 
5 -4 4 4 5 -4 4
who turn into mothers
-2 -3' 4 5 -4 4 5 -4 4 4 
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

-6 -6  5 7 5 -4 4 -3'
Oh, you see that skin?
4 4 6 -4 4
It's the same she's been 
-6 5 (-4) 5
standing in
5 -4 5
Since the day 
5 -5 -5 -6 -4 4 -3' 
she saw him walking away
-3' 4 -3'
Now she's left
5 6 -5 5 -4 4 4
Cleaning up the mess he made

-3 5 6 -5 5 6 -5 5 4
So, fathers, be good to your daughters
5 6 -6 -4 4 5 -4
Daughters will love like you do
5 6 -6 6 7 -6 
Girls become lovers 
5 -4 4 4 5 -4 4
who turn into mothers
-2 -3' 4 5 -4 4 5 -4 4 4 
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

7  -6' -6' 6
Boys, you can break
5 5 6 -5 5 6 -5 -5 5
You'll find out how much they can take
4 -4 5 6
Boys will be strong
-2 4 -4 5 6
And boys soldier on
-2 4 -4 5 -5 -5 5 -4 4
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
4 6 -4 5 -5 5 
A womans good, good heart

6 -6 7 -6 -8 -8 -6 
On behalf of every man
6 -6 7 -6 -8 -8 -7
Looking out for every girl
7 -6 6 7 -6 6 7 -6 6 -6 6 
You are the god and the weight of her world

So, fathers, be good to your daughters
5 6 -6 -4 4 5 -4
Daughters will love like you do
5 6 -6 6 7 -6 
Girls become lovers 
5 -4 4 4 5 -4 4
who turn into mothers
-2 -3' 4 5 -4 4 5 -4 4 4 
So mothers, be good to your daughters too  [3x]
