[Intro]
A F#m D Bm
[Verse 1]
A
You know you brought your girl up well
F#m
So well that everyone can always tell
D
That you had some work to do
Bm
Thought she'd get the best of you
A F#m
I'm glad that you never gave up
D
on her Shut the door sent her away
Bm
You didn't know what else to say
But you loved her
[Verse 2]
A
You knew that she'd have to go
F#m
And taught her all the things
D
she never wanted to know
Because she already knew
Bm A
everything Didn't she And so you
F#m
kicked her out into the bright
light And of course it started
D Bm
a fight But it wouldn't be the last
[Chorus 1]
A E
Because she's trying she's
F#m E/G# D
trying Trying hard to do
F#m E D C#m
what you taught her to
A E F#m E/G#
She's trying she's trying
D F#m
Trying hard to be what
E D C#m
you want her to
[Verse 3]
A
You know you brought
your girl up well
F#m
So well the day she
came and told you
D
She fell in love
and packed her bags
Bm
You hid your smile
A
didn't laugh You sat her
down and told her the
F#m
rules of love Watch your
D
back and trust no one
Bm
And most of all just don't
forget To get a prenup
[Verse 4]
A
And then when she went away
F#m
And came running back the
D
very next day You didn't
Bm
tell her that you told her
A
so Even though you knew that
She'd have to skate and
F#m
break her own leg And of
course you'd be there to
D Bm
pick her up It'd be enough
[Chorus 2]
A E
Because she's trying she's
F#m E/G# D
trying Trying hard to do
F#m E D C#m
what you taught her to
A E F#m E/G#

Trying hard to be what
E D C#m
you want her to
