Badflower - Daddy

^G#mSweet little girl, with ^F#nothing to say She hides in the smile she ^G#mwears on her face The secrets of her the ^F#family keeps The secrets of him that ^G#mblacken the sheep She shakes at the sound of ^F#jingling keys The man that she loves, the ^G#mviolent disease 'Cause when he's around, there's ^F#nothing to hide She makes no sound as she ^G#mswallows her pride

And ^EDaddy only comes when he's ^D#mready for more She ^G#mwaits on the floor, she ^F#watches the door And ^EDaddy only comes when he's ^D#mbegging for more And ^G#mjust like before he ^F#opens the door

^G#mWeigh your ^Bheart against my ^Eeyes (Are you sober now, is it ^C#mover?) ^G#mWeigh your ^Bheart against my ^Eeyes (She'll be so let down when she's ^C#molder) ^G#mPlay her ^Bfather when she ^Ecries (Now she's so messed up, and ^C#mshe says) ^EAll I ^F#want is...

^G#mNow he returns like ^F#every time With rum on his breath and ^G#mher on his mind There's no one around to ^F#witness the crime A scream won't sound past the ^G#mproperty line The man that she loves, the ^F#wicked offense She takes the attention, sup^G#mpresses the rest Emotion and pain, it ^F#mcan't be disguised The smaller she feels, the ^G#mbigger she cries

And ^EDaddy gives it all 'cause he ^D#mloves you the most He's ^G#mstretching your clothes, you're ^F#clenching your toes He ^Esays he gives it all 'cause he ^D#mloves you the most He's ^G#mholding you close, his ^F#hands on your throat

^G#mWeigh your ^Bheart against my ^Eeyes (Are you sober now, is it ^C#mover?) ^G#mWeigh your ^Bheart against my ^Eeyes (She'll be so let down when she's ^C#molder) ^G#mPlay her ^Bfather when she ^Ecries (Now she's so messed up, and ^C#mshe says) ^EAll I ^F#want is ^G#myou ^{E E}All I ^F#want is...

^G#mNow she's of age, and he's on his last But nothing can heal the scars of her past She feels so alone and ^F#angry, because She sees him the way the ^G#mfamily does So late in the night, her ^F#eyes seeing red And Daddy lay sick on the ^G#mhospital bed She creeps in the room with a ^F#bag in her hand And smothers the face of a ^G#mterrible man If ^EDaddy only stopped when she ^D#mbegged him before He'd ^G#mbe so much more, she'd ^F#be so much more If ^EDaddy only stopped when she ^D#mbegged him before

^G#mWeigh your ^Bheart against my ^Eeyes (Are you sober now, is it ^C#mover?) ^G#mWeigh your ^Bheart against my ^Eeyes (And she's so let down, now she's ^C#molder) ^G#mPlay his ^Bdaughter when he ^Elies (Now he's so messed up, and ^C#mhe says) ^EAll I ^F#mwant is ^G#myou ^E

^EAll I ^F#mwant is ^G#myou ^E (And she's so let down when he lies) ^EAll I ^F#mwant is...
