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