Chords for Ernie Halter - Daddy's Little Girls - My Living Room - 2016.04.03

Oh, you have three kids, you must write all these songs for your kids.
And then I'd be like, yeah, I haven't written any songs for my kids.
And then I'd try to figure out why that was.
And I think it's because songwriting is so difficult
that the only way to get through it is to be okay with a song being good or bad,
at least until you can put enough time into it and see it through.
But _ _ _ I don't think I could write a bad song about my kids.
I don't think I would be able to get through that process,
and that's probably why I just shied away from it.
There's a lot of pressure, basically, to write a really good song
if it's about something important.
And then I met this girl in Nashville, this girl, Caitlin Clampett.
I was introduced to her from another friend, and we got together to write a song,
and she brought a list of titles, and one of them was the title. _ _ _
And when she said it, I knew [F#] that, like, it was [N] _ _ _
supposed to happen right now.
So we wrote this song.
And normally songwriting is a lot of changing and not liking something
and trying to fix it and constantly being dissatisfied and changing things.
It's better.
And I don't feel that about this song, and I never did.
Like, I don't remember even writing it or arguing about what line should have been or didn't.
Like, it just, this song always felt like it existed.
I'll _ _ [D#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ [F#] _ [B] _
_ _ _ [D#m] _ _ [A#m] _ _ [B] _
_ _ [D#m] admit I [C#] [F#] was [B] terrified
_ The [D#m] moment [C#] I saw [B] your eyes
[D#m] I became a [C#] different man
[F#] When I held your tiny hand [C#] in mine _ _ _ _
The [D#m] first [C#] words I heard [B] you say
I [D#m] remember [C#] like [B] yesterday _
Time [D#m] is blowing [F] the breeze
And [F#] you're growing up right in front [C#] of me
_ Daddy's _ little [F#] girls
Precious little [C#] angels
Dancing [D#m] in the living [C#] room
[F#] Drawing [B] on the table
Wearing [F#] mama's pearls
Putting [C#] on her makeup
Even though [D#m] I know these [F#] moments won't last [G#] forever _
_ _ [B] _ _ You'll [F#] always be daddy's little girl
_ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [D#m] Someday [C#] you'll be dressed [B] in white
_ [D#m] Looking breathless [C#] with butterflies
[B] _
And though [D#m] I have to let [C#] you go
In [F#] my heart I hope you'll always [C#] stay
_ Please stay [D#] daddy's little [F#] girl
Precious [C#] little angels
Dancing [D#] in the living [F#] room
Drawing [B] on the table
Wearing [F#] mama's pearls
Putting [C#] on her makeup
Even though [D#m] I know these [C#] moments [F#] won't [G#] last forever
_ [B] To me, you'll [F#] always be daddy's little girl
_ [C#] Until [F#] _ _
_ _ [G#m] then I'll [B] cherish every [C#] kiss goodnight
_ [F#] Every door you'll [C#] slam and every little [D#] [D#m] fight
I [G#m] will be there with [B] you [F#] even when [C#] I'm gone
Just listen to [G#m] this song
As if nothing [C#] changed at all
You're still [F#] daddy's little girl
_ Precious [C#] little angels
Dancing [D#] in my [B] living room
[F#] Drawing on [B] the table
Wearing [F#] mama's pearls
Putting on [C#] her makeup
_ [D#m] Even though I know these [C#] [F#] moments won't [G#] last forever
_ [B] To me, _ [C#] you'll always [F#]
be
[B] Oh to me, you'll [F#] always be
Daddy's little girl
_ _ _ [B] _ _
[F#] Daddy's little girl
_ [C#] _ _ [B] _ _
