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

Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too

the chords for the intro are Bm7 Em7 Asus4 Dx2
the chords for the verses are the same; Bm7 Em7 Asus4 D
the chords for the chorus are also the same; Bm7 Em7 Asus4 D
then after the second chorus there is a verse that starts off 'boys you can break', and
the chords for that verse are F(d shaped) D#(d shaped) D
Dmaj7 Dsus2 Bm7 Em7 D/F# A#6/F B6/G
after that the rest of the song is the same 4 chords Bm7 Em7 Asus4 D

so fathers be good to your daughters
daughters will love like you do
girls become lovers who turn into mothers
so mothers be good to your daughters too
oh you see that skin
its the same shes been standing in
since the day she saw him walking away
now shes left, cleaning up the mess he made
chorus
boys you can break
find out how much they can take
boys will be strong and
boys soldier on

without the warmth of a woman's good good heart
on behalf of everyman
looking out for everygirl
you are the god and the weight of her world

so mothers be good to your daughters too

Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too...
Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left cleaning up the mess he made
So fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too
Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong and boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from a woman's good, good heart...
On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the guide and the weight of her world
So fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too

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