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

From the day you arrive till you walk, till you run
D# A# A#/A Gm F
There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love
D# F A#
And that's the story of love
[Verse]
A#
You can choose to remember or choose to forget
Gm
If they took you to school or they tucked you in bed
Cm
You can say it don't matter, you won't do the same
D#
You'd think no one noticed when you looked away
[Chorus]

Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons

From the day you arrive till you walk, till you run
D#
There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love
[Verse]
A#
Now they're getting older and you ain't so young
Gm
So you take care of them like your daughters and sons
Cm
You can ask for forgiveness, they could ask for the same
D# F
Forget all the anguish, the heartache, the pain
A#
Wherever you go or wherever you've been
Gm
It's them that is with you and that's you that's with them
Cm
Fathers and daughters and mothers and sons
D#
As one story ends another's, another's begun
[Instrumental]

Oh, fathers love daughters like mothers love sons

They've been writing our story before there was one

From hello to goodbye

That's the story of love
