Your Daughter chords by Dina Rebekka

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
Cm7
My entire childhood
Ab
I thought i had to hide for
     Bb
Who i was
        Gm          Ab
I never let anybody see

Cm7
I finally accept now
Ab
That somethings never change how
     Bb          Gm                 Ab
Your image always mattered more than me

 pre-chorus:
  Ab           Bb              Cm
I never really seem to measure up
          Ab                            Bb
I gave my all, but it's just never good enough

chorus:
             Eb
But I'm your daughter
Eb
Ain't that enough
      Bb
To be someone
Bb
you're proud of?
           Cm
I tried my best
       Bb                   Ab
And yet you wish that I was different
     Bb
And the reason
    Eb
Why I always shut you out
              Bb
Was because I felt like
Bb
I let you down
     Cm7            Bb
If I continue this way
           Ab
I'm gonna break
                    Bb               Eb
I'm not the one who needs to change…

verse 2:
Cm
I always used to hold back
Ab
Afraid that I'd be too much
       Bb
'Cause my whole life
    Gm               Ab   Bb
You taught me that I was
Cm
Afraid I was too wild
Ab
When in fact I was just a child
    Bb          Gm            Ab
Who desperately wanted to be loved

Pre-chorus:
Ab                        Bb
So I chased the love from others
        Cm
You never understood
                           Ab                                          Bb
But did it ever cross your mind that maybe they gave me what you never could?

Chorus:
                   Eb
'Cause being your daughter
Eb
Is not enough
      Bb
To be someone
Bb
you're proud of
           Cm
I tried my best
     Bb                     Ab
And yet you wish that I was different
       Bb
And the reason
    Eb
Why I always shut you out
              Bb
Was because I felt like
Bb
I let you down
     Cm7            Bb
If I continue this way
           Ab
I'm gonna break
                    Bb               Eb     Ab
I'm not the one who needs to change…

Bridge:
     Cm           Ab
And I know my sexuality
        Eb              Bb
Doesn't go well with what you believe
        Cm               Ab
And when I started in recovery
      Eb             Bb
You became my worst enemy
                Ab          Bb
It's like I'm always almost good enough
             Gm            Cm
It's like I always almost measure up
        Ab                                                 Bb
But if I could then I would be the one that you want me to be
Bb
I just don't see why
            Eb
Being your daughter is not enough
         Bb
To be someone you're proud of
         Cm
I try my best
            Bb               Ab
And yet you wish that I was different
        Bb            Eb
And the reason why I always shut
Eb
You out
             Bb
Is because I know that I've let you down
     Cm            Bb                  Ab
If I continue this way I'm gonna break
            Bb                 Eb
I'm not the one who needs to change
