[Verse]
Am       Dm
I know a girl
             G7                    C
She puts the color inside of my world
Am                    Dm
but she's just like a maze
                 G7                       C
Where all of the walls are continually changed
    Am              Dm
And I've done all I can
                G7                        C
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hand
    Am              Dm
Now I'm starting to think
               G7                 C
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me
[Chorus]
Am          Dm          G7       C
Fathers, be good to your daughters
Am           Dm            G7 C
Daughters will love like you do
Am           Dm        G7         C
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
   Am          Dm           G7        C
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
[Verse]
Am                Dm
Ooh, you see that skin?
         G7                       C
It's the same she's been standing in
          Am              Dm
Since the day she saw him walking away
          G7
Now she's left
                       C
cleaning up the mess he made
[Chorus]
   Am             Dm        G7      C
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Am             Dm           G7 C
Daughters will love like you do
Am           Dm        G7         C
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
   Am          Dm           G7        C
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
[Verse]
Am            Dm
Boys, you can break
    G7                         C
You find out how much they can take
             Am
Boys will be strong
                 Dm
And boys soldier on
                  G7
But boys would be gone without warmth from
   G7              Am    C
A wooooman's good, good heart
[Bridge]
             Am
On behalf of every man
                Dm
looking out for every girl
                          G7             C
You are the guide and the weight of her world
[Chorus]
   Am          Dm           G7   C
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Am             Dm           G7 C
Daughters will love like you do
Am           Dm         G7        C
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
   Am         Dm           G7         C
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
   Am         Dm           G7         C
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
   Am         Dm           G7         C
So mothers be good to your daughters, too.
