his daughter Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Everything is gonna [D]be alright
She whispers to her[F#m]self
[D]She was only 6 y[G]ears old that night
As she hid behind that shelf
Cause daddy [D]had a little too much to drink

[Verse 2]
[D]
And mama did[G]n't want her to feel the [A]pain,
[F#m]she fe[D]lt[G]
But she still felt the pain

[Verse 3]
Well 10 years they [D]came and went
And dad [F#m]was gone
[D]So she looked [G]for love in other men
And tried to act strong
[D]Broken

[Verse 4]
hearts and scars in only
[F#m]places she could see
Cause [G]she just wanted,
she just wanted to feel something
[D]And as she sat there on her bed
Thinking bout what those girls said
[G]Tears streamed from her eyes
She cried

[Verse 5]
If there's a [D]God out there
Please hear my prayer
I'm [G]lost and I'm scared

[Verse 6]
And I've [G]got nowhere else to [D]go
I've come a long, long way
But I'm not sure I can [G]make
it much [Em]farther[G]
So if you're [D]listening,
[F#m]could you gi[Em]ve a helping ha[G]nd
To [D]your daughter[G]

[Verse 7]
[D]Well her path started to change
She reached out and grabbed
God's grace
And fi[G]nally, she saw a light
Until that night

[Verse 8]
Where she [D]decided one
drink was alright
And one thing led to another
Nex[G]t thing you know, 9 months go by
She's a mother

[Verse 9]
And [D]as she laid there in that bed
Stroking that small angel's head
[G]Tears streamed from her eyes
She cried

[Verse 10]
If there's a [D]God out there
Please hear my prayer
I'm [Em]lost and I'm scared
And I've [G]got nowhere else to [D]run

[Verse 11]
I've come a long, long [D]way
But I'm not sure I can [Em]be
the best [G]mother
So if you're listening,
[D]cou[F#m]ld you[A] give a helping[Em] hand[G]
To [D]your daughter
[G]

[Verse 12]
Well [D]that baby grew into a boy
[G]Who became her pride and joy
He [D]loved her like no man could
And her heart felt peace,
cause she finally [G]understood
God's love

[Verse 13]
So [D]as she laid there in that bed
99 years old
She grabbed [G]her son's
hand and said
There's something you must know

[Verse 14]
There is a [D]God up there
Who heard my prayer
I was [Em]lost and afraid
And I [G]had nowhere else to [D]go
I had no clue, what to [Em]do
And then He sent me [G]you

[Verse 15]
So if you're [D]lost and afraid
And you feel so [F#m]alone
[D]Don't worry chi[G]ld
Cause there's a Father who
will love you as His own
Just like he loved his [D]daughter[G]

[Verse 16]
Like he loved [D]His daughter
[G]
