Am
Simple love songs
Am
Drenched in blood songs
Am               G    E/G#
Coming out all wrong songs

Am            Em
Hesitate to throw your stones
       F            Dm
When criminals are victims
Am             Em
Looking back into our past
         F                  Dm       Am
There's no cause for these symptoms now

Chorus:
    C                 F  C/E
Forgive your foolish father
Dm          G
He did the best that he could do
C            F    C/E
You are his daughter
Dm          G
And he'd do anything for you

Think of how destroyed he feels
Walking to his grave plot
Knowing that the one he loves
Hates him with all of her heart

Chorus

C/E    F               G                C
These nucleotides are paired up in a strand
C/E  F            G                 C
How comical the stuff that makes a man

Chorus

C             F C/E
Anything for you
Dm            G
Anything for you
C        F    C/E
Anything anything
Dm            G
Anything for you

C           F      C/E Dm  G
Everything will be alright in the end - x6
