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


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

[Bridge]
D Bm G A


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


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

[Bridge]
G A D A Bm G A


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


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