Favourite Daughter

[Intro]
Cadd9
G  Cadd9 G
 Ah

[Verse 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

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

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm an actress,
           G           D
all of the medals I won for ya
C                                 G              D
 Breakin' my back just to be your favourite daughter
C
 Everywhere I run,
G              D         C
 I'm always runnin' to ya
                                    G             D
Breakin' my back just hopin' you'll say I'm a star
Ah

[Verse 2]
Cadd9                              G
You  had a brother, I look like him
                   Cadd9
You told us as kids
                 G
"He died of a broken heart"
           Cadd9
And for every door you open
              Em
There's a room  I can't go in
           Cadd9
I break in,     I still can't find you

[Pre-Chorus]
G D            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                 C
Then I sing every word just to ya

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm an actress,
           G           D
all of the medals I won for ya
C                             G              D
 Panic attack just to be your favourite daughter
C
 Everywhere I run,
G              D         C
 I'm always runnin' to ya
                              G                   D
Breakin' my back to carry the weight of your heart

[Interlude]
     Am                            G/B
But I  keep dancing till I get sick
     C
Why'd you have to dream so big?
          D                            Em    D
Why did no one listen when you hit the notes from
    C
your heart?
                       C
Ahah, ahah, ahah, ahah, ah

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