D                       A#

What did she do to you sir?

           F*                C

Can't you see that you are twice the size of her?

D                           A#

It's not like she can stand up

          F*                      C

When you beat her down with your love

D                                        A#

Turn around and hear his screams as you toss his mom around

F*                         C

He sees his loving father beating mommy down

D                                   A#

You threw me into the wall and you told me to shut up

F*                     C                A# - C

That's what ignited me and then I blew up

                A# - C

Why can't I forget?

D              A#           F*               F6*-F*-F6*

Daddy dearest, I love you, please return it back

D                 A#            F*                  F6*-F*-F6*

Christian family, we once were, do you still blame me?





D              A#            F*            F6*  F*-F6*

Daddy dearest, you left me, nowhere to be found

D                 A#             F*     F6*     D   R1

Christian family, we still are, forgive and forget

D                         A#

Dad you are still in my prayers

       F*                   C

Even though, when I needed you you weren't there

D                             A#

Your daughter would also like to

       F*                      C

Once again, just be called a princess by you

D                                                     A#

She cried so hard that she couldn't breathe, but you didn't even know

F*                        C

And if you did, you were too involved in yourself to show

D                                A#

So I went to comfort her and to see if she was okay

F*                                     C            A# - C

That's when you decided to leave us, then you ran away

                A# - C

Why can't I forget?

D              A#                  F*               F6*-F*-F6*

Daddy dearest, you weren't there, when she cried to you

D                 A#              F*          F6*-F*-F6*

Christian values, you taught me, what a hypocrite

D              A#         F*                F6*-F*-F6*

Daddy dearest, my mentor, I still weep for you

D                 A#         F*    F6*     D  R1

Christian father, maybe so, now my dad is God.  Now my dad is God





D-A#-F*-F6* (2X)





R1

So long, no goodbyes from you, did I hear at all





Father, how I wish you well, in this world of fools

(2X)





D              A#            F*              F6*-F*-F6*

Daddy dearest, I love you, please return it back

D                 A#             F*                F6*-F*-F6*

Christian family, we once were, do you still blame me?

D              A#            F*            F6*-F*-F6*

Daddy dearest, you left me, nowhere to be found

D                 A#             F*     F6*     D

Christian family, we still are, forgive and forget
