 G                                              Am7  D  Am7  D 
I'm standing 'on the inside looking out through these lonely eyes of mine. 
D                                        G  G6  Gmaj7  G 
I keep on going back to when we used to be together all the time, 
G                                                  Am7  D  Am7  D 
And you were all the good things in my life, like the wind that finds the trees. 
D                      C               D                G 
You were daddies little girl, and there were never moments such as these. 
 
 
 
G                                            Am7  D  Am7  D 
And Baby, when I close my eyes at night, I see you laugh, I see you cry, 
D                                                           G  G6  Gmaj7  G 
And I memorize these little things, the broken arms, the empty swings go flying by. 
G                        F                E                           
Maybe if I held you in my arms, I'd get the chance,  
    Am7                          Cm6 
to say the words I know that I should say 
G                       C         D       G 
You'll be daddies little girl, no matter how the years may slip away.
 
              C               D             G 
And you must stand alone, fight forever, when it feels like you just can't go on. 
         A7                    A               D          D7 
You should reach out, but you don't ever, and I should be the one you lean upon. 
 
  
    G                                            Am7  D  Am7  D 
And I remember when you fell in love - I hoped that day would never come. 
D                                      G  G6  Gmaj7 - G 
But he just kept his motor running - I took a break, and you were gone. 
                           F        E       Am7 
And I almost stopped believing in your face and in your voice, and you're my only  
          Cm6 
vision when I pray 
 
 
 G            C                D                  G     
And you'll be daddies little girl, no matter how the years may slip away. 
G            C                D                  G     
Yes, you'll be daddies little girl, no matter how the years may slip away.
