For The Love Of a Daughter

Intro:  Bm  A  G  D

Bm
Four years old
A                      G      D
 With my back to the door
Bm
All I could hear
A               G       D
 Was the family war
Bm
Your selfish hands
A                 G      D
 Always expecting more
Bm
Am I your child
A                  G       D
 Or just a charity award

           Bm
You have a hollowed out heart
         G
But it's heavy in your chest
  Em                      D
I try so hard to fight it but it's hopeless
Bm          G
Hopeless
       Em
You're hopeless

Refrão:
G
 Oh father
Bm
 Please, father
D                       G
 I'd love to leave you alone
But I can't let you go
G
 Oh father
Bm
 Please, father
D                 G
 Put the bottle down
                  G       Bm D G
For the love of a daughter

     Bm
It's been five years
A                 G      D
 Since we spoke last
    Bm
You can't take back
A                G      D
 What we never had
             Bm
Oh I can be manipulated
A              G       D
 Only so many times
           Bm
Before even "I love you"
A                       G       D
 Starts to sound like a lie

           Bm
You have a hollowed out heart
         G
But it's heavy in your chest
  Em                      D
I try so hard to fight it but it's hopeless
Bm        G
Hopeless
       Em
You're hopeless

Refrão:

 Put the bottle down
                  G       A#
For the love of a daughter

Bm
Don't you remember

I'm your baby girl
A#
How could you push me

Out of your world
Bm/A
Light to your flash and your blood
            E7/G#
Put your hands on the ones

That you swore you loved
Bm
Don't you remember

I'm your baby girl
A#
How could you throw me

Right out of your world
Bm/A
So young when the pain had begun
       E7/G#
Now forever afraid of being alone

G
 Oh father
Bm
 Please, father
D                       G
 I'd love to leave you alone

But I can't let you go
G
 Oh father
Bm           D           G
 Please, fatheeeeeeeeeeer
G
 Oh father
Bm
 Please, father
