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

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

From the day you arrive till you walk, till you run
C#
There is nothing but pride, there is nothing but love
A#m
From hello to goodbye
D# G# G#/G Fm D# C# D#
That's the story of love

That's the story of love
