Song For Our Daughter

Db Gb (2x) Db Gb Though they may want you to tread in their trail Db Gb Only to see if the path they set fails Db Gb Though they may want you to take off your clothes Db Gb Whatever they think that the action exposed Db Fm B Gb With your clothes on the floor Db Ab B Gb Taking advice from some old balding bore Db Fm B Gb You'll ask yourself, "Did I want this at all?" Ebm Ebm7 Ab Do you remember what I said? Ebm Ebm7 Ab The book I left by your bed Ebm Ebm7 Ab Db Ab Ab7 The words that some survivor read Db Gb Lately I've been thinking about our daughter growing old Db Gb All of the bullshit that she might be told Db Fm B Gb There's blood on the floor Db Ab B Gb Maybe now you'll believe her for sure Ebm7 Ab She remembers what I said Ebm7 Ab The book I left by her bed Ebm Ebm7 Ab The words that some survivor read Db Gb Though they may take you for all you had left Db Gb You won't be forgotten for what you had not done yet Ab7 Ab So you wished for a kiss from God Ab7 Ab Ab7 Gb And you mourned in your childish loss Ab Ab7 Ab Innocence gone but it's not forgot B Gb Db You'll get your way through it somehow Ebm7 Ab7 Ab You remember what I said Ebm7 Ab7 The book you left by your bed Ebm7 Ab7 Ab Ab7 The words that will outlive the dead Db Gb (2x) Ebm Ebm7 Ab Ab7 (2x)... fades out
