Verse 1:

        A             D
Little letters to my daughter
    Esus4           A
I write them in my head
A                 D                   Esus4           A
Notes on all the songs and books and films I’ll recommend
        A             D
Little letters to my daughter
        Esus4           A
While I sing her off to sleep
       A             D
Little letters to my daughter
         Esus4         A
In every moment that I breathe
       A            D
Little letters to my daughter
         Esus4
In every moment that I breathe

(Pre-chorus)

       D                            F#m
And I can’t help but to draw a parallel
         D                                F#m
While my daughters here with me and your daughters facing hell
      D                 Esus4          A G#m F#m
And I can’t help but to wonder what to say
       D                                Esus4 E
To explain why people learn to live in hate
       D                             Esus4 E
To explain why no one validates her pain


Chorus:

A C#m D
I see you
       A             C#m           D
Just broken hearted people somehow whole
       A             C#m          D
It’s a miracle we’re even here at all
    A                 C#m           D
Our lives intertwined tapestries of home
    A           C#m       D
The dreams they will prevail


Verse 2:

        A                D
I write letters to your daughter
  Esus4              F#m
I hope that she’s alright
A                     D            Esus4             F#m
I’m not sure how to wrap my mind around this little life
        A                 D
I write letters to your daughter
     Esus4               F#m
With curls that match my own
        A                D
I write letters to your daughter
            Esus4         F#m
While she’s far away from home
       A                D
I write letters to your daughter
            Esus4         F#m
While she’s far away from home
       A                D
I write letters to your daughter
            Esus4
While she’s far away


(Pre-chorus)

       D                            F#m
And I can’t help but to draw a parallel

While my daughters here with me and your daughters facing hell
      D                 Esus4          A G#m F#m
And I can’t help but to wonder what to say
       D                                Esus4 E
To explain why people learn to live in hate
       D                             Esus4 E
To explain why no one validates her pain

I still have hopes and dreams but they’re holding hands with fear
        A             D
Little letters to my daughter
    Esus4           F#m
How best to keep us safe
        A             D
Little letters to my daughter
     Esus4         F#m
They keep me wide awake
       A              D       Esus4
Little letters to my daughter

Remind them who they are

Remind them of your daughter who is brave and kind and smart
