1 Verse:
         A               E
10 foot tall and bulletproof
        F#m              C#7
Always looking all up to you
       D                                  A    E
I can see me, four years old, up on your shoulders
 
              A                      E
The sound of gravel meant home from work
           F#m            C#7
Calloused hands, flannel shirt
          D                                         A  E
Kiss goodnight and bedtime prayers when the day was o-ver  
 
Chorus:
               D
I've got your eyes, I've got your heart
               A           E
I've got your arms holding me
            D                                    A            E
I've got a place to land when I just can't make sense of anything
 
      D                                   A              C#7
This woman I'm becoming, the world might put some labels on her
        D                             Dm
But no matter where I go, I'll always be
             A    E
My father's daughter

2 Verse:
         A              E
Now I'm out here on my own
                F#m               C#7
But I'm still "Princess" in your phone
        D                                          A   E
You've stayed the same while my whole life's been changing
 
              A                    E
Been through heaven, been through hell
           F#m                C#7
Through it all, you loved me well
          D                                A   E
Ain't no doubt that you and God are how I made it  
 
Chorus:
               D
I've got your eyes, I've got your heart
               A           E
I've got your arms holding me
            D                                    A            E
I've got a place to land when I just can't make sense of anything
 
      D                                   A              C#7

But no matter where I go, I'll always be
             A    E
My father's daughter

        A                  E
Sunday morning, third-row pew
          F#m             C#7
Takes me back to watching you
            D                              A  E
Raise your hands and sing about the living water
 
           A            E
Swear you almost came apart
              F#m         C#7
When I asked Jesus in my heart
               D                                  A    E
Said, "Annie, don't forget you are your Father's daughter."

This woman I'm becoming, the world might put some labels on her
        D                             Dm
But no matter where I go, I'll always be
