Intro
| C# C#/C | A#m G# | F# G# | C# |
[Chorus]
C#
Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
A#m
They've been writing our story before there was one
D#m
From the day you arrive, till you walk, till you run
F#
There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love
[Verse]
C#
They can offer advice that you don't wanna hear
A#m
Words that cut like a knife and still ring in your ear
D#m
You think of them ignorant, they think of you arrogant
F#
If you need evidence, who gave you confidence?
C#
A# snap of the finger and you're not a child
A#m
But you're still holding on as you walk down the aisle
D#m
When they give you away to hear someone else say
F#
That someone will love you till their dying day
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
C#
Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
A#m
They've been writing our story before there was one
D#m
From the day you arrive till you walk, till you run
F# C# C#/C A#m G#
There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love
F# G# C#
And that's the story of love
[Verse]
C#
You can choose to remember or choose to forget
A#m
If they took you to school or they tucked you in bed
D#m
You can say it don't matter, you won't do the same
F#
You'd think no one noticed when you looked away
[Chorus]
C#
Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
A#m
They've been writing our story before there was one
D#m
From the day you arrive till you walk, till you run
F#
There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love
[Verse]
C#
Now they're getting older and you ain't so young
A#m
So you take care of them like your daughters and sons
D#m
You can ask for forgiveness, they could ask for the same
F# G#
Forget all the anguish, the heartache, the pain
C#
Wherever you go or wherever you've been
A#m
It's them that is with you and that's you that's with them
D#m
Fathers and daughters and mothers and sons
F#
As one story ends another's, another's begun
[Instrumental]
| A#m | D#m | G# | G# |
[Chorus]
C#
Oh, fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
A#m
They've been writing our story before there was one
D#m
From the day you arrive till you walk, till you run
F#
There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love
D#m
From hello to goodbye
G# C# C#/C A#m G# F# G#
That's the story of love
C# C#/C A#m G# F# G# C#
That's the story of love
