Bm7        Em7               A11                   D6
 I know a girl she puts the color inside of my world

Bm7                    Em7                    A11                   D6
 But she’s just like a Maze where all of the walls all continually change

Bm7                 Em7                   A11                       D6
 And I’ve done all I can to stand on her steps with my heart in my hands

Bm7                  Em7                    A11                 D6
 Now I’m starting to see that maybe it’s got nothing to do with me
[Chorus]
Bm7          E7         A11      D6
 Fathers, be good to your daughters

Bm7         E7        A11        D6
 Daughters will love like you do

 So mothers, be good to your daughters too  oh yeah

Bm7               Em7            A11                     D6
 Oh, you see that skin? It’s the same she’s been standing in

Bm7                Em7     A11      D6
 Since the day she saw him walking away

Bm7             Em7          A11        D6
 Now I'm left cleaning up the mess you made
[Chorus]

But boys would be gone without warmth from a woman’s good, good        heart

D6  Bm7  E7  A11       D6
Now On behalf of every man

          Bm7  E7       A11         D6
Who might be Looking out for every girl

 So mothers be good to your daughters, too
