    / G7sus4 - - / - - - / C - - / - - - /

     

    Am7 (x2)       D7sus2/A (x2)

    I know a girl

                        G7sus4 (x2)                 C (x2)

    She puts the color inside of my world

    Am7 (x2)                   D7sus2/A (x2)

    She's just like a maze

                            G7sus4 (x2)                    C (x2)

    Where all of the walls all continually change

           Am7 (x2)             D7sus2/A (x2)

    And I've done all I can

                              G7sus4 (x2)                              C (x2)

    To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands

            Am7 (x2)               D7sus2/A (x2)

    Now I'm starting to see

                           G7sus4 (x2)                    C (x2)

    Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

     

    Chorus:

    Am7          D7sus2/A    G7sus4    C

    Fathers be good to your daugh   -   ters

    Am7               D7sus2/A  G7sus4    C

    Daughters will love like you do

    Am7            D7sus2/A  G7sus4   C

    Girls become lovers who turn into mothers

           Am7          D7sus2/A  G7sus4    C

    So mothers be good to your daughters too

     

     

    / Am7 - - / - - - / D7sus2/A - - / - - - /

    / G7sus4 - - / - - - / C - - / - - - /

     

    Am7 (x2)                     D7sus2/A (x2)

    Oh, you see that skin?

                G7sus4 (x2)                            C (x2)

    It's the same she's been standing in

                   Am7 (x2)                   D7sus2/A (x2)

    Since the day she saw him walking away

                     G7sus4 (x2)                                   C (x2)

    Now she's left cleaning up the mess he made

     

    Chorus

     

    Bridge:

     

    Gm/D   Fm/D      C (x2)

    Boys,     you can break

             Cmaj7 (x2)                           Am7 (x2)

    You'll find out how much they can take

                          Dm (x2)

    Boys will be strong

                            Em (x2)

    And boys soldier on

                                 Fm/D (x2)

    But boys would be gone without warmth from

          G (x4)

    A woman's good, good heart

     

    Instrumental Chorus

     

                       Am7        D7sus2/A         G7sus4   C

    On behalf of every man   looking out for every girl - You are the

    Am7            D7sus2/A    G7sus4    C

    god and the weight of her world
