Song For Daughters

D Bm G

[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    
You're gonna walk yourself around 
         Bm
in your shoes
               G                   
Til maybe one day, it's you who 
   A
will say


[Chorus]
  D                      Bm
Don't be too hard on yourselves
           G                   A
You don't have to be somebody else
        D                        
On the days when you most want to 
  Bm
give up the ghost
  G                  A            
Don't be too hard, don't be too 
          D
hard on yourselves

[Bridge]
D Bm G A


[Verse 2]
         D                    Bm
Girl, everyone wants to be beautiful
   G
Everyone looks in the mirror
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
           D                       
And sees things they would change, 
       Bm
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        
When you are doing the things that
      Bm
 you love
              G                  
Just how you are, that's the best 
  A
part


[Chorus]
     D                      Bm
So, don't be too hard on yourselves
           G                   A
You don't have to be somebody else
        D                        
On the days when you most want to 
  Bm
give up the ghost
  G                  A
Don't be too hard, don't be too hard
 on yourselves

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
     D                          Bm
If Venus should smile down upon you
             G
And you're lucky enough to find love
         D                         
Give it all that you've got, cause 
      Bm
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             
If you're there one day, you'll 
      A
hear me say


[Chorus]
  D                      Bm
Don't be too hard on yourselves
           G                 A
You don't have to be nobody else
        D                        
On the days when you most want to 
  Bm
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                        
On the days when you most want to 
  Bm
give up the ghost
  G                  A            
Don't be too hard, don't be too 
          D
hard on yourselves
