Verse C#m B
Sweet little girl, with nothing to say
C#m
She hides in the smile she wears on her face
B
The secrets of her the family keeps
C#m
The secrets of him that blacken the sheep
B
She shakes at the sound of jingling keys
C#m
The man that she loves, the violent disease
B
'Cause when he's around, there's nothing to hide
C#m
She makes no sound as she swallows her pride
[Pre-Chorus]
A G#m
And Daddy only comes when he's ready for more
C#m B
She waits on the floor, she watches the door
A G#m
And Daddy only comes when he's begging for more
C#m B
And just like before he opens the door
[Chorus]
C#m E A
Weigh your heart against my eyes
F#m
(Are you sober now, is it over?)
C#m E A
Weigh your heart against my eyes
F#m
(She'll be so let down when she's older)
C#m E A
Play her father when she cries
F#m
(Now she's so messed up, and she says)
A B
All I want is...
[Verse 2]
C#m B
Now he returns like every time
C#m
With rum on his breath and her on his mind
B
There's no one around to witness the crime
C#m
D scream won't sound past the property line
B
The man that she loves, the wicked offense
C#m
She takes the attention, suppresses the rest
Bm
Emotion and pain, it can't be disguised
C#m
The smaller she feels, the bigger she cries
[Pre-Chorus]
A G#m
And Daddy gives it all 'cause he loves you the most
C#m B
He's stretching your clothes, you're clenching your toes
A G#m
He says he gives it all 'cause he loves you the most
C#m B
He's holding you close, his hands on your throat
[Chorus]
C#m E A
Weigh your heart against my eyes
F#m
(Are you sober now, is it over?)
C#m E A
Weigh your heart against my eyes
F#m
(She'll be so let down when she's older)
C#m E A
Play her father when she cries
F#m
(Now she's so messed up, and she says)
A B C#m A
All I want is you
A B
All I want is...
[Bridge]
C#m
Now she's of age, and he's on his last
But nothing can heal the scars of her past
B
She feels so alone and angry, because
C#m
She sees him the way the family does
B
So late in the night, her eyes seeing red
C#m
And Daddy lay sick on the hospital bed
B
She creeps in the room with a bag in her hand
C#m
And smothers the face of a terrible man
A G#m
If Daddy only stopped when she begged him before
C#m B
He'd be so much more, she'd be so much more
A G#m
If Daddy only stopped when she begged him before
[Chorus]
C#m E A
Weigh your heart against my eyes
F#m
(Are you sober now, is it over?)
C#m E A
Weigh your heart against my eyes
F#m
(And she's so let down, now she's older)
C#m E A
Play his daughter when he lies
F#m
(Now he's so messed up, and he says)
A Bm C#m A
All I want is you
(Now he's so messed up, and he says)
A Bm C#m A
All I want is you
(And she's so let down when he lies)
A Bm
All I want is...
