[A] [D] [A] [D]
[E] [A]
I woke up crying [F#m] late at night [D] when [G#] I was very [A] young.
[D] I had dreamed [A] my father [Bm] had passed away [E] and gone.
[A] My worry found [F#m] him.
I couldn't [Bm] lie [E] there [A] anymore.
So [F#] I made my way [A] down the mirrored hall [Bm] and tapped [E] upon [A] his door.
And I [E] 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?
And [E]
he [D] said, That's [E] my [A] job.
[D] [E] That's what [A] I do.
[D] [E] Everything I do [A] is because [D]
of you.
To keep you [E] safe [F#m] with me.
[D] That's my [E] job, [A] you see.
Later we [F#m] barely got along, [D] this teenage [E] boy [A] and he.
[D] Most of the fights, it seems, [A] were over different [Bm] dreams.
We each held [E] for me.
[A] He wanted [F#m] knowledge and learning.
[D] I wanted [E] to fly [A] out west.
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 I [A] do.
[D] [E] Everything I do [A] is because [D] of you.
To keep [E] you safe [F#m] with me.
[D] That's my [E] [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 [E] as 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] said, 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 I [A] do.

job, you [A] see.

To keep you [E]
