Intro: F#m - E - D - E
Verse 1
F#m
The bottle took you from me
E
When I was a child
D
Robbed me of the love I needed
C#m
Robbed me of a smile
D
I prayed the same prayer every night
C#m
Especially for you
Bm
After all
E
That's what little girls do
Verse 2
F#m
It didn't happen in an instant
E
It happened in God's time
D
You've finally gotten sober
C#m
And found some peace of mind
D
Yeah you faced all your demons
C#m
And they finally set you free
Bm
With your back the bottle
E
You're finally facing me
Chorus
A
And Dad I want to tell you that
F#m C#m E
I'm proud of you for never giving up on us
A F#m
Even in your darkest hour I could still
C#m E
Feel the power of your love for us
D
And I know that we'll make up for lost time
C#m
As we walk through this world
Bm
I love you Daddy
E A
Always, your baby girl
