Intro
| B B/A# | G#m F# | E F# | B |
[Chorus]
B
Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
G#m
They've been writing our story before there was one
C#m
From the day you arrive, till you walk, till you run
E
There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love
[Verse]
B
They can offer advice that you don't wanna hear
G#m
Words that cut like a knife and still ring in your ear
C#m
You think of them ignorant, they think of you arrogant
E
If you need evidence, who gave you confidence?
B
G# snap of the finger and you're not a child
G#m
But you're still holding on as you walk down the aisle
C#m
When they give you away to hear someone else say
E
That someone will love you till their dying day
[Instrumental]
| G#m | C#m | F# | F# |
[Chorus]
B
Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
G#m
They've been writing our story before there was one
C#m
From the day you arrive till you walk, till you run
E B B/A# G#m F#
There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love
E F# B
And that's the story of love
[Verse]
B
You can choose to remember or choose to forget
G#m
If they took you to school or they tucked you in bed
C#m
You can say it don't matter, you won't do the same
E
You'd think no one noticed when you looked away
[Chorus]
B
Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
G#m
They've been writing our story before there was one
C#m
From the day you arrive till you walk, till you run
E
There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love
[Verse]
B
Now they're getting older and you ain't so young
G#m
So you take care of them like your daughters and sons
C#m
You can ask for forgiveness, they could ask for the same
E F#
Forget all the anguish, the heartache, the pain
B
Wherever you go or wherever you've been
G#m
It's them that is with you and that's you that's with them
C#m
Fathers and daughters and mothers and sons
E
As one story ends another's, another's begun
[Instrumental]
| G#m | C#m | F# | F# |
[Chorus]
B
Oh, fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
G#m
They've been writing our story before there was one
C#m
From the day you arrive till you walk, till you run
E
There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love
C#m
From hello to goodbye
F# B B/A# G#m F# E F#
That's the story of love
B B/A# G#m F# E F# B
That's the story of love
