[Intro]
Am F
[Verse 1]
Am
Four years old with my
F
back to the door
Am
All I could hear
F
was the family war
Am
Your selfish hands
G F
always expecting more
Am
Am I your child or
G F
just a charity award?
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
You have a hollowed out heart
F
But it’s heavy in your chest
Dm
I try so hard to fight it
C
But it’s hopeless
Am F Dm
hopeless You’re hopeless
[Chorus]
F Am
Oh father please father
C
I’d love to leave you alone
F
but I can’t let you go
F Am
Oh father please father
C F
Put the bottle down for
Am C F
the love of a daughter
[Verse 2]
Am
It’s been 5 years since
F
we’ve spoken last
Am
And you can’t take back
F
what we never had oh
Am
I can be manipulated
G F
only so many times
Am
Before even “I love you”
G F
starts to sound like a lie
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
You have a hollowed out heart
F
But it’s heavy in your chest
Dm
I try so hard to fight it
C
But it’s hopeless
Am F Dm
hopeless You’re hopeless
[Chorus]
F Am
Oh father please father

I’d love to leave you alone

but I can’t let you go

the love of a daughter
[Bridge]
Am
Don’t you remember
C
I’m your baby girl?
E
How could you push me
C
out of your world?
G
Lied to your flesh
and your blood
D/F#
Put your hands on the ones
that you swore you loved
Am
Don’t you remember
I’m your baby girl?
E
How could you throw me
right out of your world?
G
So young when the pain had begun
D/F#
Now forever afraid of being loved
F Am
Oh father please father
C
I’d love to leave you alone
F
but I can’t let you go
F Am C F
Oh father please father!!!
[Outro]

the love of a daughter

for the love of a daughter
