A        E        B  E
 Delaney talks to statues

       A       B         E
As she dances 'round the pool

A           E            B      E
 She chases cats through roman ruins

    A         B        E
And stomps on big toadstools

A                E     B       E
 She speaks a language all her own

     A    E      B  E
That I cannot discover

A        E       B        E
 But she knows I love her so

       A         E         B   E
When I tuck her 'neath the covers
[Chorus]
A   E   B    E
Father, daughter

A    E      B  E
Down by the water

A      E     B      E
Shells sink, dreams float

A      E       B   E
Life's good on our boat
[Verse 2]
A        E        B   E
 Delaney draws me pictures

    A      B          E
She finger paints the sand

   A         E        B        E
We chase the dogs and hop like frogs

       A     B        E
Then I do my bad handstand

A              E      B        E
 She's growing up too fast for me

    A      E       B   E
And asking lots of questions

A       E        B       E
 Some I know the answers to

             A       E      B  E
And some I'm looking for suggestions
[Chorus]
A   E    B    E
Father, daughter

A    E      B E
Born by the water

A      E   B     E
Surf's up, sun's down

A    E    B     E
Life in a beach town
[Bridge]
C#m              G#m
 And some of the things I've seen

      Bm                A
Maybe she won't have to see

C#m                          G#m
 But there's a lot I want to pass along

         D              A
That was handed down to me
[Verse 3]

    A         B        E
And stomps on big toadstools

A             E        B       E
 She speaks a language all her own

       A      E        B   E
Just a little like her mother

A        E       B        E
 And she knows I love her so

       A         E         B  E

A   E   B    E

Shells sink, dreams float

A      E       B   E
Life's good on our boat

A      E     B      E
Shells sink, dreams float

A      E       B   E
Life's good on our boat
