[Verse 1]
D Bm
This is a song for our daughters
G
Cause there's some things that they need to hear
D Bm
Now, we never know when it's our time to go
G A
So, let me be perfectly clear
G A
You're gonna win, you're gonna lose
D A Bm
You're gonna walk yourself around in your shoes
G A
Til maybe one day, it's you who will say
[Chorus]
D Bm
Don't be too hard on yourselves
G A
You don't have to be somebody else
D Bm
On the days when you most want to give up the ghost
G A D
Don't be too hard, don't be too hard on yourselves
[Bridge]
D Bm G A
[Verse 2]
D Bm
Girl, everyone wants to be beautiful
G
Everyone looks in the mirror
D Bm
And sees things they would change, feels some sort of pain
G A
But I see your beauty so clear
G A
It's in the way that you light up
D A Bm
When you are doing the things that you love
G A
Just how you are, that's the best part
[Chorus]
D Bm
So, don't be too hard on yourselves
G A
You don't have to be somebody else
D Bm
On the days when you most want to give up the ghost
G A
Don't be too hard, don't be too hard on yourselves
[Bridge]
G A D A Bm G A
[Verse 3]
D Bm
If Venus should smile down upon you
G
And you're lucky enough to find love
D Bm
Give it all that you've got, cause good love takes a lot
G A
And pray that the love is enough
G A
And if it's not, how it can hurt
D A Bm
It's so much less than you deserve
G A
If you're there one day, you'll hear me say
[Chorus]
D Bm
Don't be too hard on yourselves
G A
You don't have to be nobody else
D Bm
On the days when you most want to give up the ghost
G A
Don't be too hard, don't be too hard
[Chorus]
D Bm
So, don't be too hard on yourselves
G A
You don't have to be somebody else
D Bm
On the days when you most want to give up the ghost
G A D
Don't be too hard, don't be too hard on yourselves
[Bridge]
D Bm G
[Outro]
D Bm
This is a song for my daughters
G A D
Don't be too hard, don't be too hard on yourselves
