Daddy Acordes

[Verse 1]
G#m                     F#
Sweet little girl, with nothing to say
                           G#m
She hides in the smile she wears on her face
                       F#
The secrets of her the family keeps
                        G#m
The secrets of him that blacken the sheep
                           F#
She shakes at the sound of jingling keys
                            G#m
The man that she loves, the violent disease
                                 F#
'Cause when he's around, there's nothing to hide
                          G#m
She makes no sound as she swallows her pride
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    E                          D#m
And Daddy only comes when he's ready for more
    G#m                     F#
She waits on the floor, she watches the door
    E                          D#m
And Daddy only comes when he's begging for more
    G#m                 F#
And just like before he opens the door
 
 
[Chorus]
G#m        B                E
Weigh your heart against my eyes
                          C#m
(Are you sober now, is it over?)
G#m        B                E
Weigh your heart against my eyes
                                  C#m
(She'll be so let down when she's older)
G#m      B               E
Play her father when she cries
                             C#m
(Now she's so messed up, and she says)
E     F#
All I want is...
 
 
[Verse 2]
G#m                 F#
Now he returns like every time
                           G#m
With rum on his breath and her on his mind
                         F#
There's no one around to witness the crime
                              G#m
A scream won't sound past the property line
                            F#
The man that she loves, the wicked offense
                            G#m
She takes the attention, suppresses the rest
                     F#m
Emotion and pain, it can't be disguised
                           G#m
The smaller she feels, the bigger she cries
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    E                            D#m
And Daddy gives it all 'cause he loves you the most
     G#m                             F#
He's stretching your clothes, you're clenching your toes
   E                              D#m
He says he gives it all 'cause he loves you the most
     G#m                    F#
He's holding you close, his hands on your throat
 
 
[Chorus]
G#m        B                E
Weigh your heart against my eyes
                          C#m
(Are you sober now, is it over?)
G#m        B                E
Weigh your heart against my eyes
                                  C#m
(She'll be so let down when she's older)
G#m      B               E
Play her father when she cries
                             C#m
(Now she's so messed up, and she says)
E     F#      G#m  E
All I want is you
E     F#
All I want is...
 
 
[Bridge]
G#m
Now she's of age, and he's on his last
 
But nothing can heal the scars of her past
                       F#
She feels so alone and angry, because
                         G#m
She sees him the way the family does
                          F#
So late in the night, her eyes seeing red
                          G#m
And Daddy lay sick on the hospital bed
                              F#
She creeps in the room with a bag in her hand
                           G#m
And smothers the face of a terrible man
   E                           D#m
If Daddy only stopped when she begged him before
     G#m                    F#
He'd be so much more, she'd be so much more
   E                           D#m
If Daddy only stopped when she begged him before
 
 
[Chorus]
G#m        B                E
Weigh your heart against my eyes
                          C#m
(Are you sober now, is it over?)
G#m        B                E
Weigh your heart against my eyes
                                  C#m
(And she's so let down, now she's older)
G#m      B                E
Play his daughter when he lies
                            C#m
(Now he's so messed up, and he says)
E     F#m     G#m  E
All I want is you
 
(Now he's so messed up, and he says)
E     F#m     G#m  E
All I want is you
 
(And she's so let down when he lies)
E     F#m
All I want is...
