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 |
Em |
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 |
Em |
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 |
Em |
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 |
Em |
Together ever again |
C/G |
Like we used to be |
D/A |
When we were teenagers |
Em/B |
But then of course everything |
Em |
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 |
Em |
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 |
Em |
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 |
Em |
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 |
Em |
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 |
Em |
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 |
Em |
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 |
Em |
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 |
Em |
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 |
Em |
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 |
Em |
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 |
Em |
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. |
Em |
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 |

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 |
Em |
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 |
Em |
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 |
Em |
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) |
