[Verse]
E7sus4/B      Em7            Em7/A                   D
  I know a girl she puts the color inside of my world.
    E7sus4/B             Em7                    Em7/A                    D
But she's just like a maze, where all of the walls all continually change.
Em7  D E7sus4/B Em7                     Em7/A                     D6
    And I've done all I can to stand on her steps with my heart in my hand.
Em7    E7sus4/B Em7                Em7/A                D
    Now I'm starting to see, maybe its got nothing to do with me.
 
[Chorus]
E7sus4/B Em7      Em7/A   D
Fathers be good to your daugh-ters.
E7sus4/B E7          Em7/A   D6
Daughters will love like you do.
E7sus4/B Em7         Em7/A           D
Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers  
    E7sus4/B Em7          Em7/A     D6
So, mothers be good to your daughters too.

Oooh, you see that skin?
             Em7/A                   D
It's the same she's been standing in...
Em7  D/F#      Bm               Em7                     Em7/A
    since the day, she saw him walking away, now she's left...
                         D       Em7
cleaning up the mess he made.
D/F#
So

Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers 
    E7sus4/B Em7          Em7/A     D6
So, mothers be good to your daughters too.

D9    Gm/D          D        A7/D                          E7sus4/B
  Boys you can break, you'll find out how much they can take.
                   Em7                  D/F#                Gm11
Boys will be strong, and boys soldier on but boys would be gone without
                A13
warmth from a woman's good, good heart.

you are the god and the weight of her world.

So, mothers be good to your daughters too.
              I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But 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 find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A woman's good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the God 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
