[Intro]
A   E   B   E   x4
 
[Verse 1]
A        E        B  E
 Delaney talks to statues
       A       B         E
As she dances 'round the pool
A           E            B      E
 She chases cats through roman ruins
    A         B        E
And stomps on big toadstools
 
A                E     B       E
 She speaks a language all her own
     A    E      B  E
That I cannot discover
A        E       B        E
 But she knows I love her so
       A         E         B   E
When I tuck her 'neath the covers
 
[Chorus]
A   E   B    E
Father, daughter
A    E      B  E
Down by the water
A      E     B      E
Shells sink, dreams float
A      E       B   E
Life's good on our boat
 
[Verse 2]
A        E        B   E
 Delaney draws me pictures
    A      B          E
She finger paints the sand
   A         E        B        E
We chase the dogs and hop like frogs
       A     B        E
Then I do my bad handstand
 
A              E      B        E
 She's growing up too fast for me
    A      E       B   E
And asking lots of questions
A       E        B       E
 Some I know the answers to
             A       E      B  E
And some I'm looking for suggestions
 
[Chorus]
A   E    B    E
Father, daughter
A    E      B E
Born by the water
A      E   B     E
Surf's up, sun's down
A    E    B     E
Life in a beach town
 
[Bridge]
C#m              G#m
 And some of the things I've seen
      Bm                A
Maybe she won't have to see
C#m                          G#m
 But there's a lot I want to pass along
         D              A
That was handed down to me
 
[Verse 3]
A        E        B   E
 Delaney talks to statues
       A       B         E
As she dances 'round the pool
A           E            B     E
 She chases cats through Roman ruins
    A         B        E
And stomps on big toadstools
 
A             E        B       E
 She speaks a language all her own
       A      E        B   E
Just a little like her mother
A        E       B        E
 And she knows I love her so
       A         E         B  E
When I tuck her 'neath the covers
 
[Chorus]
A   E   B    E
Father, daughter
A    E      B    E
Down by the water
A      E     B      E
Shells sink, dreams float
A      E       B   E
Life's good on our boat
A      E     B      E
Shells sink, dreams float
A      E       B   E
Life's good on our boat
