Bm Four years old with my G back to the door Bm All I could hear G was the family war Bm Your selfish hands A G always expecting more Bm Am I your child or A G just a charity award? Bm You have a hollowed out heart G But it’s heavy in your chest Em I try so hard to fight it D But it’s hopeless Bm G Em hopeless You’re hopeless Chorus: G Bm Oh father please father D I’d love to leave you alone G but I can’t let you go G Bm Oh father please father D G Put the bottle down for the love of a daughter It's been five years since we've spoken last And you can't take back what we never had Oh, well, I can be manipulated only so many times Before even "I love you" starts to sound like a lie You have a hollowed out heart, but it's heavy in your chest I try so hard to fight it, but it's hopeless Hopeless, you're hopeless Chorus: Oh, father Please, father I'd love to leave you alone, but I can't let you go Oh, father Please, father Put the bottle down for the love of a daughter Bm Don’t you remember D I’m your baby girl? F# How could you push me out of your world? F Lied to your flesh and your blood E 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? F So young when the pain had begun E Now forever afraid of being loved Chorus: Oh, father Please, father I'd love to leave you alone, but I can't let you go Oh, father Please, father Oh, father Please, father Put the bottle down for the love of a daughter For the love of a daughter | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA A# D E Em F G G# Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
