Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
G# minorG#m 
F#F#
Sweet little girl, with nothing to say
G# minorG#m
She hides in the smile she wears on her face
F#F#
The secrets of her the family keeps
G# minorG#m
The secrets of him that blacken the sheep
F#F#
She shakes at the sound of jingling keys
G# minorG#m
The man that she loves, the violent disease
F#F#
'Cause when he's around, there's nothing to hide
G# minorG#m
She makes no sound as she swallows her pride
Pre-Chorus:
E MajorE 
D#mD#m
And Daddy only comes when he's ready for more
G# minorG#m F#F#
She waits on the floor, she watches the door
E MajorE D#mD#m
And Daddy only comes when he's begging for more
G# minorG#m F#F#
And just like before he opens the door
Chorus:
G# minorG#m 
BB E MajorE
Weigh your heart against my eyes
C# minorC#m
(Are you sober now, is it over?)
G# minorG#m BB E MajorE
Weigh your heart against my eyes
C# minorC#m
(She'll be so let down when she's older)
G# minorG#m BB E MajorE
Play her father when she cries
C# minorC#m
(Now she's so messed up, and she says)
E MajorE F#F#
All I want is...
Verse 2:
G# minorG#m F#F#
Now he returns like every time
G# minorG#m
With rum on his breath and her on his mind
F#F#
There's no one around to witness the crime
G# minorG#m
A augmentedA scream won't sound past the property line
F#F#
The man that she loves, the wicked offense
G# minorG#m
She takes the attention, suppresses the rest
F# minorF#m
Emotion and pain, it can't be disguised
G# minorG#m
The smaller she feels, the bigger she cries
Pre-Chorus:
E MajorE D#mD#m
And Daddy gives it all 'cause he loves you the most
G# minorG#m F#F#
He's stretching your clothes, you're clenching your toes
E MajorE D#mD#m
He says he gives it all 'cause he loves you the most
G# minorG#m F#F#
He's holding you close, his hands on your throat
Chorus:
G# minorG#m BB E MajorE
Weigh your heart against my eyes
C# minorC#m
(Are you sober now, is it over?)
G# minorG#m BB E MajorE
Weigh your heart against my eyes
C# minorC#m
(She'll be so let down when she's older)
G# minorG#m BB E MajorE
Play her father when she cries
C# minorC#m
(Now she's so messed up, and she says)
E MajorE F#F# G# minorG#m BB
All I want is you
E MajorE F#F#
All I want is...
Bridge:
G# minorG#m
Now she's of age, and he's on his last
But nothing can heal the scars of her past
F#F#
She feels so alone and angry, because
G# minorG#m
She sees him the way the family does
F#F#
So late in the night, her eyes seeing red
G# minorG#m
And Daddy lay sick on the hospital bed
F#F#
She creeps in the room with a bag in her hand
G# minorG#m
And smothers the face of a terrible man
E MajorE D#mD#m
If Daddy only stopped when she begged him before
G# minorG#m F#F#
He'd be so much more, she'd be so much more
E MajorE D#mD#m
If Daddy only stopped when she begged him before
Chorus:
G# minorG#m BB E MajorE
Weigh your heart against my eyes
C# minorC#m
(Are you sober now, is it over?)
G# minorG#m BB E MajorE
Weigh your heart against my eyes
C# minorC#m
(And she's so let down, now she's older)
G# minorG#m BB E MajorE
Play his daughter when he lies
C# minorC#m
(Now he's so messed up, and he says)
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m BB
All I want is you
(Now he's so messed up, and he says)
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m BB
All I want is you
(And she's so let down when he lies)
E MajorE F# minorF#m
All I want is...
