(Intro)

B B/A# G#m7 B/A# 2x

(Verse 1)

Well you laughed and told me you [B/A#]really wanted a boy[B/A#]
But you cried first time you [B/A#]held me said you never felt such joy
That’s fathers and [E/F#]daughters

And when you took the training wh[B/A#]eels right off my bi[B/A#]ke
That’s the first time I could[B/A#] feel my wings ‘Cause you taught me I could fly
That’s fathers and [E/F#]daughters

(Chorus 1)

When I was a pink ballerina dancing in the kitchen
You held out your hand so I could [F#/A#]try my luck at spinning
The world keeps turning always through it all
I knew you would catch me when [F#/A#]I start to fall
That’s fathers, [E/F#]daughters

(Verse 2)

[B/A#] [B/A#]

When you let me go [B/A#]out on my first date[B/A#]
You waited up and you didn’t [B/A#]tell Mom even tho’ I got home late
That’s fathers, [E/F#]daughters
And one day when th[B/A#]at boy made my heart[B/A#] break
You told me that’s why God ma[B/A#]de tears To wash the hurt away

[E/F#]
(Chorus 2)

Then I’m still that pink ballerina Dancing in the kitchen
You hold out your hand I go right [F#/A#]back to the beginning
The world keeps turning always through it all
You're still there to catch me I’m[F#/A#] still learning how to fall
That fathers, daugh[E/F#]ters
and daughters and fathers
You [B/F#]grow up and discover
No one [B/D#]ever loves each other
Like [F#7sus4]fathers and daughters [E/F#]
