Favourite Daughter

Intro 

Cadd9 
Ah-ah 


[Verso 1]


Cadd9 
I was a singer 
             G 
You were my fan 
                    Cadd9 
When no one gave a damn 
                   G 
It was you in the dark 
Cadd9 
Scared of your anger 
                   G 
In love with your whim 
                    Cadd9 
Some notes I don't hit 
                 G 
But I don't give up 


[Pré-Refrão]


       Cadd9 
Now every day the plane takes off 
       G             D 
And every night the room fills up with 
Cadd9 
People who are convinced I'm not 
 G              D                   Cadd9 
Just some kid fakin' it for your love 



[Refrão]

                                   G        D         Cadd9 
'Cause I'm an actress, all of the medals I won for ya 
                                   G         D        Cadd9 
Breaking my back just to be your favourite daughter 
              G                D           Cadd9 
Everywhere I run, I'm always runnin' to ya 
                                     G         D 
Breaking my back just hoping you'll say I'm a star 


[Verso 2]


Cadd9         N.C. 
You had a brother, I look like him 
               Cadd9 
You told us as kids 
                 G 
"He did of a broken heart" 
         Cadd9 
And for evry door you open 
           G 
There's a room I can't go in 
         C                      G   D 
I break in, I still can't find you 


[Pré-Refrão]


       Cadd9 
Now that every day the plane takes off 
       G             D 
And every night the room fills up 
Cadd9 
I tell myself that soon we'll talk 
 G              D                Cadd9 
Then I sing every word just to ya 



[Refrão]

                                   G        D         Cadd9 
'Cause I'm an actress, all of the medals I won for ya 
                                   G         D        Cadd9 
Breaking my back just to be your favourite daughter 
              G                D           Cadd9 
Everywhere I run, I'm always runnin' to ya 
                                     G         D 
Breaking my back to carry the weight of your heart 


[Ponte]


Am                                  B 
But I keep dancing till I get sick 
 C 
Why'd you have to dream so big? 
        D                                G     D        C 
Why did no one listen when you hit the notes from your heart? 
                         Cadd9 
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah 



[Refrão]

                                    G        D         Cadd9 
I'm a good actress, look at the medals I won for ya 
                                   G         D        Cadd9 
So you could imagine being a favourite daughter 
              G                D           Cadd9 
Everywhere I run, I'm always runnin' to ya 
                                     G         D 
Breaking my back just to be as brave as my mother
