Badflower – Daddy chords

Chords:
Transpose:
[Verse 1]
G#m F#Sweet little girl, with nothing to say
G#mShe hides in the smile she wears on her face
F#The secrets of her the family keeps
G#mThe secrets of him that blacken the sheep
F#She shakes at the sound of jingling keys
G#mThe man that she loves, the violent disease
F#'Cause when he's around, there's nothing to hide
G#mShe makes no sound as she swallows her pride
[Pre-Chorus]
E D#mAnd Daddy only comes when he's ready for more
G#m F#She waits on the floor, she watches the door
E D#mAnd Daddy only comes when he's begging for more
G#m F#And just like before he opens the door
[Chorus]
G#m B EWeigh your heart against my eyes
C#m(Are you sober now, is it over?)
G#m B EWeigh your heart against my eyes
C#m(She'll be so let down when she's older)
G#m B EPlay her father when she cries
C#m(Now she's so messed up, and she says)
E F#All I want is...
[Verse 2]
G#m F#Now he returns like every time
G#mWith rum on his breath and her on his mind
F#There's no one around to witness the crime
G#mA scream won't sound past the property line
F#The man that she loves, the wicked offense
G#mShe takes the attention, suppresses the rest
F#mEmotion and pain, it can't be disguised
G#mThe smaller she feels, the bigger she cries
[Pre-Chorus]
E D#mAnd Daddy gives it all 'cause he loves you the most
G#m F#He's stretching your clothes, you're clenching your toes
E D#mHe says he gives it all 'cause he loves you the most
G#m F#He's holding you close, his hands on your throat
[Chorus]
G#m B EWeigh your heart against my eyes
C#m(Are you sober now, is it over?)
G#m B EWeigh your heart against my eyes
C#m(She'll be so let down when she's older)
G#m B EPlay her father when she cries
C#m(Now she's so messed up, and she says)
E F# G#m BAll I want is you
E F#All I want is...
[Bridge]
G#mNow she's of age, and he's on his last
But nothing can heal the scars of her past
F#She feels so alone and angry, because
G#mShe sees him the way the family does
F#So late in the night, her eyes seeing red
G#mAnd Daddy lay sick on the hospital bed
F#She creeps in the room with a bag in her hand
G#mAnd smothers the face of a terrible man
E D#mIf Daddy only stopped when she begged him before
G#m F#He'd be so much more, she'd be so much more
E D#mIf Daddy only stopped when she begged him before
[Chorus]
G#m B EWeigh your heart against my eyes
C#m(Are you sober now, is it over?)
G#m B EWeigh your heart against my eyes
C#m(And she's so let down, now she's older)
G#m B EPlay his daughter when he lies
C#m(Now he's so messed up, and he says)
E F#m G#m BAll I want is you
(Now he's so messed up, and he says)
E F#m G#m BAll I want is you
(And she's so let down when he lies)
E F#mAll I want is...
