Daughters chords by Jake Sommer

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: C

Verse 1:
       Am
Once I spent my days with toys and cars
    F
And soldiers raising flags on bars
      C                                        G
And I guess I always thought that's what mattered
           Am
But then I traveled far and wide
            F
And saw the darkness of all our pride
      C                                     G
And I guess that's when my innocence shattered

Verse 2:
F
Lost and sad and all alone
    G
You raised me up, you took me home
    C7                                  Am
You mended all the robes that were tattered
    F
And you became my love, my life
   G7
We ventured out as man and wife
    C                                    Am
And now those lonely days have been scattered

Bridge:
F  G  F

Verse 3:
    C
And now I'm playing Mario
    F
And watching all these girly shows
    Am                                 G
And laughing as they dance and they chatter

Verse 4:
        C
And I'm crying on those angry nights
       F
When I don't know how to fight their fights
   Am                                   G
Because some boy or girl called them fatter

Verse 5:
        C
And I'm teaching all the things I know
        F
And I'm hating how the time still goes
      Am                                            G
And I know that some day they'll hear their own patters

Verse 6:
        C
And I'm watching the survivor show
            F
And they're screaming, who they think should go
           Am                                   G
And you're mad cause all the milkshakes go splatter

Verse 7:
            C
And they're trying on new clothes we bought
            F
And they're fighting to believe the thought
     Am                                G
That someday to their lover they'll matter

Verse 8:
            C
And they're growing like a foot each day
      F
And I cherish them in every way
         Am                             G
And with each passing moment we get sadder

Verse 9:
            C
And they're not like in my memories
      F
Cuz I stare at them no longer see
    Am                           G
The pigtails and the childish banter

Verse 10:
            C
And they're smart and even more they're nice
      F
And I pray they'll stay away from vice
    Am                                   G
And off the richness of emotions get fatter

Outro:
                C   F   Am   G
And I love my daughters
                C   F   Am   G
And I love my daughters
                C   F   Am   G
And I love my daughters
                C   F   Am   G
And I love my daughters
             C   F   Am   G
You gave me daughters
             C   F   Am   G
You gave me daughters
             C   F   Am   G
You gave me daughters

C F Am G x2
