about

Semi-biography story of someone very close to me.

lyrics

Bm D
A good daughter holds her mother’s hand
Bm D
Raised her sisters, when her mother can’t
Bm E
A good daughter, time to say goodbye
G A Bm
We understand if you wanna cry

A stolen childhood, life in disarray
Out of order and someone had to pay
A good daughter, stayed by mother’s side
We understand if you wanna cry

Chorus
F#m A
Lookin’ back on life, there’s not much to say
F#m E
Did what you did to make your own way
F#m A
The scars have healed and now come what may
F#m D
Look ahead and know it’s gonna be OK (It’s gonna be OK)

A good daughter sees a better way
Her own daughter will never have to pay
A good daughter, sees the other side
We understand if you wanna cry





Bridge
E G
Look at those eyes, little daughters eyes
A
She’s got her momma’s eyes

Chorus
F#m A
Lookin’ back on life, there’s not much to say
F#m E
Did what you did to make your own way
F#m A
The scars have healed and now come what may
F#m D
Look ahead and know it’s gonna be OK (It’s gonna be OK)

Outro
Bm D
It’s gonna be ok x4
It’s gonna be ok (whispered)
