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