[Intro]
Bm7  Em7  A7sus4  D  x2
 
[Verse 1]
Bm7     Em7
I know a girl
              A7sus4             D
She puts the color inside of my world
Bm7                Em7
She's just like a maze
                   A7sus4                D
Where all of the walls all continually change
Bm7               Em7
I've done all I can
                  A7sus4                   D
To stand on the steps with my heart in my hands
 Bm7              Em7
Now I started to see
                 A7sus4            D
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me
 
[Chorus]
 Bm7         E7          A7sus4 D
Fathers be good to your daughters
 Bm7            E7          A7sus4   D
Daughters will love like you do
Bm7           E7         A7sus4   D
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
    Bm7        E7           A7sus4    D
So mothers be good to your daughters too
 
[Instrumental]
Bm7  Em7  A7sus4  D  x2
 
[Verse 2]
Bm7                Em7
Oh, you see that skin
          A7sus4                  D
It's the same she's been standing in
          Bm7              Em7
Since the day she saw him walkin' away
           A7sus4                       D
Now she's left cleaning up the mess he made
 
[Chorus]
    Bm7           E7       A7sus4   D
So fathers be good to your daughters
   Bm7           E7            A7sus4    D
Daughters will love like you do
Bm7           E7         A7sus4  D
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
   Bm7         E7           A7sus4    D
So mothers be good to your daughters too
 
[Bridge]
D9 Gm/D          D
  Boys you can break
Dmaj7         Dsus2         Bm7
Find out how much they can take
              Em7
Boys will be strong and
             D/F#
Boys soldier on
                   Gm11
But boys would be gone
                   A7sus4               Bm7
Without warmth of a woman's good good heart
 
[Instrumental]
Bm7  E7  A7sus4  D  x2
 
[Interlude]
Bm7               E7
    On behalf of every man
                 A7sus4    D
Looking out for every girl
            Bm7           E7           A7sus4 D
You are the god and the weight of her world
 
[Chorus]
    Bm7           E7       A7sus4   D
So fathers be good to your daughters
  Bm7           E7            A7sus4    D
Daughters will love like you do
Bm7           E7        A7sus4     D
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
   Bm7         E7          A7sus4     D
So mothers be good to your daughters too
 
[Outro]
    Bm7        E7          A7sus4     D
So mothers be good to your daughters too
    Bm7        E7          A7sus4     D
So mothers be good to your daughters too

this sounds fine to me: x20202 x20030 300003 000232 yeah i dunno the names of all those chords. this isnt right, the other tab is right, where it is played on the 4th 5th 6th and 7th fret. but this is good enough if you wanna mess around with it.
