Intro:

Em C/G D/A Em/B Em C/G D/A Em/B

Em/B Em

I know sometimes

C/G

Things may not always make sense

C/G D/A Em/B

To you right now

But hey

C/G

What daddy always tell you?‎

D/A Em/B

Straighten up little soldier

Em C/G

Stiffen up that upper lip

D/A Em/B

What you crying about?

Em/B

You got me

Hailie I know you miss your mom

C/G

And I know you miss your dad

D/A

Well I'm gone but I'm trying

Em/B

To give you the life

Em/B

That I never had

I can see you're sad

C/G

Even when you smile

C/G

Even when you laugh

D/A Em/B

I can see it in your eyes,

Em/B

Deep inside you want to cry

Em C/G

Cause you're scared, I ain't there?‎

C/G

Daddy's with you in your prayers

D/A Em/B

No more crying, wipe them tears

Em/B

Daddy's here, no more nightmares

Em C/G

We gon' pull together through it

C/G

We gon' do it'‎

D/A

Laney uncles crazy, ain't he?‎

Em/B

Yeah but he loves you girl

Em/B

And you better know it

Em C/G

We're all we got in this world

C/G

When it spins, when it swirls

D/A Em/B

When it whirls, when it twirls

Em/B

Two little beautiful girls

Em C/G

Lookin' puzzled, in a daze

C/G

I know it's confusing you

D/A Em/B

Daddy's always on the move

Em/B

Mama's always on the news

Em C/G

I try to keep you sheltered from it

C/G

But somehow it seems

D/A

The harder that I try to do that

Em/B

The more it backfires on me

Em C/G

All the things growing up his daddy

C/G

That he had to see

D/A

Daddy don't want you to see

Em/B

But you see just as much as he did

Em C/G

We did not plan it to be this way

C/G

Your mother and me

D/A

But things have gotten so bad

Em/B

Between us I don't see us ever being

Together ever again

C/G

Like we used to be

D/A

When we were teenagers

Em/B

But then of course everything

Always happens for a reason

C/G

I guess it was never meant to be

D/A

But it's just something we

D/A

Have no control over and

Em/B Em

That's what destiny is

Em C/G

But no more worries, rest your head

C/G

And go to sleep

D/A

Maybe one day we'll wake up

Em/B

And this will all just be a dream

Em C/G

Now hush little baby, don't you cry

D/A Em/B

Everything's gonna be alright

Stiffen that upper lip up

C/G

Little lady, I told ya

D/A

Daddy's here to hold ya

Em/B

Through the night

I know mommy's not here right now

C/G

And we don't know why

D/A Em/B

We fear how we feel inside

It may seem a little crazy

C/G

Pretty baby but I promise

D/A Em/B

Momma's gon' be alright

Em/B

It's funny

I remember back one year

C/G

When daddy had no money

D/A

Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents

Em/B

Up and stuck 'em under the tree

And said some of 'em were from me

C/G

Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em

D/A

I'll never forget that Christmas

Em/B

I sat up the whole night crying

Cause daddy felt like a bum

C/G

See daddy had a job

D/A

But his job was to keep

Em/B

The food on the table for you and mom

And at the time

C/G

Every house that we lived in

D/A

Either kept getting broken into

Em/B

And robbed or shot up on the block

Em C/G

And your mom was saving money

C/G

For you in a jar

D/A

Tryna start a piggy bank

Em/B

For you so you could go to college

Almost had a thousand dollars

C/G

Till someone broke in and stole it

D/A

And I know it hurt so bad

Em/B

It broke your momma's heart

And it seemed like everything

C/G

Was just startin' to fall apart

D/A Em/B

Mom and dad was arguin' a lot

Em/B

So momma moved back

Em C/G

On the Chalmers in the flat

C/G

One bedroom apartment

D/A

And dad moved back to the other

Em/B

Side of 8 Mile on Novara

And that's when daddy went

C/G

To California with his CD

D/A

And met Dr. Dre and flew

Em/B

You and momma out to see me

But daddy had to work

C/G

You and momma had to leave me

D/A

Then you started seeing daddy

Em/B

On the T.V.

And momma didn't like it

C/G

And you and Laney

C/G

Were to young to understand it

D/A

Papa was a rollin' stone

Em/B

Momma developed a habit

Em C/G

And it all happened too fast

C/G

For either one of us to grab it

D/A Em/B

I'm just sorry you were there

Em/B

And had to witness it first hand

Em C/G

Cause all I ever wanted to do

C/G

Was just make you proud

D/A Em/B

Now I'm sitting in this empty house

Em/B

Just reminiscing

Em C/G

Lookin' at your baby pictures

C/G

It just trips me out

D/A

To see how much you both have grown

Em/B

It's almost like you're sisters now

Em C/G

Wow, guess you pretty much are

D/A

And daddy's still here

Em/B

Laney I'm talkin' to you too

Em/B

Daddy's still here

Em C/G

I like the sound of that, yeah

D/A

It's got a ring to it don't it?‎

Em/B

Shh, momma's only gone for the moment

Bridge:

C/G C/G Em Em/B x2

Em C/G

Now hush little baby, don't you cry

D/A Em/B

Everything's gonna be alright

Stiffen that upper lip up

C/G

Little lady, I told ya

D/A

Daddy's here to hold ya

Em/B

Through the night

I know mommy's not here right now

C/G

And we don't know why

D/A Em/B

We fear how we feel inside

It may seem a little crazy

C/G

Pretty baby

D/A Em/B

But I promise momma's gon' be alright

Bridge:

C/G C/G Em Em/B x2

Em/B

And if you ask me too

Em C/G

Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird

D/A Em/B

I'mma give you the world

I'mma buy a diamond ring for you

C/G

I'mma sing for you

D/A

I'll do anything for you

Em/B

To see you smile

And if that mockingbird

C/G

Don't sing and that ring don't shine

D/A Em/B

I'mma break that birdies neck

I'll go back to the jeweler

C/G

Who sold it to ya

D/A

And make him eat every carat

Em/B

Don't fuck with dad (ha ha)‎

Ending:

Em Em/B C/G C/G x2
