For The Love Of A DaughterCifra de Cavaquinho

Intro:  Bm  A  G  D 

Bm 
Four years old 
A                      G      D 
 With my back to the door 
Bm 
All I could hear 
A               G       D 
 Was the family war 
Bm 
Your selfish hands 
A                 G      D 
 Always expecting more 
Bm 
Am I your child 
A                  G       D 
 Or just a charity award 

           Bm 
You have a hollowed out heart 
         A 
But it's heavy in your chest 
  Em 
I try so hard to fight it but it's hopeless 
Bm          A 
Hopeless 
       Em 
You're hopeless 

 
G 
 Oh father 
Bm 
 Please, father 
D                       A 
 I'd love to leave you alone 
But I can't let you go 
G 
 Oh father 
Bm 
 Please, father 
D                 A 
 Put the bottle down 
                  G       Bm     D     A 
For the love of a daughter 


     Bm 
It's been five years 
A                 G      D 
 Since we spoke last 
    Bm 
You can't take back 
A                G      D 
 What we never had 
             Bm 
Oh I can be manipulated 
A              G       D 
 Only so many times 
           Bm 
Before even 'I love you' 
A                       G       D 
 Starts to sound like a lie 

           Bm 
You have a hollowed out heart 
         A 
But it's heavy in your chest 
  Em 
I try so hard to fight it but it's hopeless 
Bm        A 
Hopeless 
       Em 
You're hopeless 


G 
 Oh father 
Bm 
 Please, father 
D                       A 
 I'd love to leave you alone 

But I can't let you go 
G 
 Oh father 
Bm 
 Please, father 
D                 A 
 Put the bottle down 
                  G       Bm 
For the love of a daughter
 

Bm 
Don't you remember 

I'm your baby girl 
F# 
How could you push me 

Out of your world 
D 
Light to your flash and your blood 
            Em 
Put your hands on the ones 

That you swore you loved 
Bm 
Don't you remember 

I'm your baby girl 
F# 
How could you throw me 

Right out of your world 
D 
So young when the pain had begun 
       Em 
Now forever afraid of being alone 

G 
 Oh father 
Bm 
 Please, father 
D                       A 
 I'd love to leave you alone 

But I can't let you go 
G 
 Oh father 
Bm           D           A 
 Please, fatheeeeeeeeeeer 
G 
 Oh father 
Bm 
 Please, father 
D                 A 
 Put the bottle down 
                  G       Bm       D        A 
For the love of a daughter 
                  G       Bm       A 
For the love of a daughter
