Intro
| A A/G# | F#m E | D E | A |
[Chorus]
A
Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
F#m
They've been writing our story before there was one
Bm
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
F#m
Words that cut like a knife and still ring in your ear
Bm
You think of them ignorant, they think of you arrogant
D
If you need evidence, who gave you confidence?
A
F# snap of the finger and you're not a child
F#m
But you're still holding on as you walk down the aisle
Bm
When they give you away to hear someone else say
D
That someone will love you till their dying day
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
A
Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
F#m
They've been writing our story before there was one
Bm
From the day you arrive till you walk, till you run
D A A/G# F#m E
There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love
D E A
And that's the story of love
[Verse]
A
You can choose to remember or choose to forget
F#m
If they took you to school or they tucked you in bed
Bm
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]
A
Fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
F#m
They've been writing our story before there was one
Bm
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
F#m
So you take care of them like your daughters and sons
Bm
You can ask for forgiveness, they could ask for the same
D E
Forget all the anguish, the heartache, the pain
A
Wherever you go or wherever you've been
F#m
It's them that is with you and that's you that's with them
Bm
Fathers and daughters and mothers and sons
D
As one story ends another's, another's begun
[Instrumental]
| F#m | Bm | E | E |
[Chorus]
A
Oh, fathers love daughters like mothers love sons
F#m
They've been writing our story before there was one
Bm
From the day you arrive till you walk, till you run
D
There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love
Bm
From hello to goodbye
E A A/G# F#m E D E
That's the story of love
A A/G# F#m E D E A
That's the story of love
