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

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