But Daddy I Love Him
But Daddy I Love Him Chords
Verse 1
E
I forget how the West was won
B
I forget if this was ever fun
Dbm
I just learned these people only
A
raise you to cage you
E
Sarahs and Hannahs in their
Sunday best
E
B
Clutching their pearls, sighing “what a mess”
Dbm
I just learned these people try and
A
save you ’cause they hate you
Pre-Chorus
E
Too high a
A
horse for a simple
E
girl to rise
B
above
it
E
They slammed the
A
door on my whole
E
world
The one thing I
B
wanted
Chorus
And
E
I’m running with my dress unbuttoned
A
Screaming, “But Daddy, I love him
B
I’m having his baby
No I’m
A
not but you should see your faces”
E
I’m telling him to floor it through the fences
A
No, I’m not coming to my senses
B
I know he’s crazy, but he’s the
A
one I want
Verse 2
E
Dutiful daughter, all my plans were laid
B
Tendrils tucked into a woven braid
Dbm
Growing up precocious sometimes means
A
Not growing up at all
E
He was chaos, he was revelry
B
Bedroom eyes like a remedy
Dbm
Soon enough, the elders had
A
convened down at the city hall
Pre-Chorus
E
“Stay away from
A
her,” the
E
saboteurs protested
B
too
much
E
Lord knows the
A
words we never
E
heard
Just screeching tires and
B
true
love
Chorus
And
E
I’m running with my dress unbuttoned
A
Screaming, “But Daddy, I love him
B
I’m having his baby
No I’m
A
not but you should see your faces”
E
I’m telling him to floor it through the fences
A
No, I’m not coming to my senses
B
I know he’s crazy, but he’s the
A
one I want
Bridge
E
I’ll tell you something
B
right
now
I’d rather burn my whole
Dbm
life
down
Than listen to one more
A
second of all this xxxxxing and moaning
E
I’ll tell you something about my
B
good
name
It’s mine alone to
Dbm
disgrace
I don’t care to all these
A
vipers dressed in emperor’s clothing
Dbm
God save the most
A
judgemental
creeps
Who say they want what’s
B
best for me
Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I’ll never
Dbm
see
Thinking it can
A
change the beat
Of my heart when he
B
touches me and counteract the chemistry
And undo the
E
B
destiny
You ain’t gotta
Dbm
pray for me
He’s my
A
wild boy and I’m his wild joy
E
B
If all you want is
Dbm
grey for me
Then it’s just
A
white noise, this is my choice
Pre-Chorus
E
There’s a lot of people in town that I
B
Bestow upon my fakest smiles
Dbm
Scandal does funny things to pry but brings
A
lovers
closer
E
We came back when the heat died down
B
Went to my parents and they came around
Dbm
All the wine moms are still holding out
But
A
xxxx ’em, it’s over
Chorus
And
E
I’m dancing in my dress in the sun
A
And even my daddy just loves him
B
I’m his lady
And
A
oh my god you should see your faces
E
Time, doesn’t it give some perspective?
A
I know you can’t come to the wedding
B
I know he’s crazy, but he’s the
A
one I want
Outro
E
I’ll tell you something
B
right
now
You ain’t gotta
Dbm
pray for me
He’s my
A
wild boy, and I’m his wild joy
E
-He was chaos, he was
B
revelry-
If all you want is
Dbm
grey for me
Thatt’s just
A
white noise, it’s my choice
E
B
Screaming, “But Daddy, I love
Dbm
him
I’m having his
A
baby
No I’m
E
not but
B
you should see your
Dbm
faces”
