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

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