[C] [A] I .
[D] [A] .
[D] [E] [A] .
woke up crying [F#m] late at night [D] when [G#] I was [A] very young.
[D] I had dreamed [A] my father had [Bm] passed away [E] and gone.
[A] My world [F#m] revolved around him.
I [D] couldn't lie [E] there [A] anymore.
So [D] I made my way [A] down the mirrored hall [Bm] and tapped [E] upon [A] his door.
And I said, [D] Daddy, [A] I'm so afraid.
How [Bm] will I go on with [A] you gone that way?.
Don't want [D] to cry anymore.
[A] So may I stay with [Bm] you?
.
[E] And he [D] said, That's [E] [A] my job.
[D] That's [E] what [A] I do.
[D] Everything [E] I do [A] is because [D] I'll do to keep you [E] safe [F#m] with me.
[D] That's [E] my [A] job, you see.
.
Later we barely [F#m] got along, [D] this teenage [E] [A] boy and he.
.
[D] Most of the fights, it seems, [A] were over different [Bm] dreams we each held [E] for me.
.
[A] He wanted knowledge [F#m] and learning.
.
[D] I wanted [E] to fly [A] out west.
I said [D] I could make it out there [F#m] if I just had the fare.
[Bm] I got half.
[E] Will you loan me [A] the rest?.
And I [D] said, Daddy, [A] I'm so afraid.
[Bm] There's no guarantee in [A] the plans I've made.
And [D] if I should fail, who [A] will pay my way [Bm] back home?.
[E] And he [D] said, That's [E] my [A] job.
.
[D] That's [E] what [A] I do.
.
[D] Everything I [E] do [A] is because [D].
I'll do to keep [E] you safe [F#m] with me.
.
[A] [D] That's [E] my [A] job, you see.
.
[F#m] Every person [C#m] carves his spot and [D] fills [E] the [A] hole with light.
[D] And I pray someday [F#] I might [Bm] light as bright as [E] he.
.
[A] Woke up early [F#m] one bright fall day [D] to [E] spread the [A] tragic news.
[D] After all my travel, [A] I settled down [Bm] within a mile or [E] two.
[F#m] [E] [A] I make my [F#m] living with words and rhymes.
[D] And [E] all this [A] tragedy should [D] go into my head [A] and out instead [Bm] as [E] bits of [A] poetry.
But I [D] say, Daddy, [A] I'm so afraid.
[Bm] How will I go on [A] with you gone this way?.
[D] How can I come up [A] with a song to say [Bm] I love you?.
[E] .
[D] [E] That's my [A] job.
.
[D] That's [E] what [A] I do.
.
[D] Everything [E] I do is [A] because [D] I'll do to keep you [E] safe with [F#m] me.
.
[D] That's my [E] job, you [A] see.
.
[D] Everything [E] I do is [A] because [D] I'll do to keep you [E] safe with [F#m] me.
.
[D] [E] [A] .
