Daughter
By Kathryn Morski
E A D A Bm A D A
Well, I never had me a silk dress face, or a taste for high-heeled shoes.
E A D A Bm A D A
I was born into the wrong half of the human race, but I’m tired of paying my dues.
E A E
I’m tired of paying those dues.
E A D A Bm A D A
My mama taught me how to sew and sing, and what kind of clothes to choose.
E A D A Bm A D A
My daddy gave me his good advice and a permanent case of the blues –
E A E
Yes, a permanent case of the blues.
E A E A D A
I’m tired of being treated as a sweet young thing, tired of living for the public’s eye,
E Bm A D A Bm
Tired of trying to walk that line. Gotta walk some line till I die. (Is that right?)
E A E
Gotta walk some line till I die.
C#m B D A
Some days the world gets so damn mean, I could sit right down and cry.
C#m B D A
And still, you know it’s better being who I am than the stereotype of a lie!
E A E
Stereotype of a lie…
E A D A Bm A D A
Some days the world seems like a mystery, written without any clues,
E A D A
And I sometimes feel I’ve run into so many dead ends
Bm A D A
that my mind’s got a permanent bruise.
E A E
My mind’s got a permanent bruise.
E A D A Bm A D A
And still I have affection for this tired old earth, and I wander it as I choose
E A D A Bm A D A
Carrying along my curiosity and that permanent case of the blues.
E A E
Permanent case of the blues!
