Eminem - Mockingbird (Lyrics) Chords

[Em] _ [C] _ _ [Bm] _ [D] [Em] Yeah, I know sometimes [Am] things may not [Em] always make sense [D] to you right now, [Em] but hey, [C] what
did daddy always tell you?
[A] Straighten up [Em] little soldier, stiffen up that upper lip, [Am] _ [C] what you crying [D] about?
[Em] You got me.
Haley, I know you [C] miss your mom, [G] and I know you miss your dad [D] when I'm gone, but I'm [Em] trying
to give you the life that I never had.
I can see [Am] you're sad, even when you smile, even when you [D] laugh, I can [Em] see it in your
eyes, deep inside you wanna cry, cause you're [C] scared, I ain't there.
Daddy's with you in your [A] prayers, no more [Em] crying, wipe them tears, daddy's here, no
more nightmares, we gon' [Am] go together through it, we [G] gon' do it.
[D] Lainey uncle's crazy, [Em] ain't he?
Yeah, but he loves you girl, and you better know it.
What all [C] we got in this [G] world, when it spins, when it [D] swirls, when [Em] it whirls, when it twirls,
two little beautiful girls, looking [Am] puzzled in a daze, I know it's confusing [D] you, [Em] daddy's
always on the move, mama's always on the news, I try [C] to keep you sheltered from it, but [D] somehow
it seems the harder that [Em] I try to do that, the more it backfires on me.
All the things [C] growing up as daddy, daddy had to see, [D] daddy don't [Em] want you to see, but
you see just as much as he did, we did not [C] plan it to be this way, your mother and me,
[D] but things have got [Em] so bad between us, I don't see us ever being together [Am] ever again, like
we used to be when we [D] was teenagers, [Em] but then of course everything always happens for a
reason, [C] I guess it was never meant [D] to be, but it's just something we [Em] have no control
over, and that's what destiny is.
[Am] But no more worries, rest your head [G] and go to sleep, [D] maybe one [Em] day we'll wake up and
this'll all just be a dream now.
Now what?
[C] Little baby, don't you [D] cry, [Em] everything's gonna be alright, skipping right up on that
park [C] little lady, I told ya, daddy [D] said I'll [Em] hold ya through the night, I know mommy's
not here [C] right now, and we don't know [D] why, we feel [Em] how we feel inside, it may seem a
little [C] crazy, pretty baby, but I [D] promise [Em] mama's gonna be alright.
It's funny, I [C] remember back one year when daddy [G] had no [D] money, mommy wrapped [Em] the Christmas
presents up and stuck them under the tree until some [Am] of them were crummy, cause daddy
[C] couldn't buy [A] em, I'll never [Em] forget that Christmas, I sat up the whole night crying cause daddy
[C] felt like a bum, see daddy [Bm] had a job, [A] but his job was [Em] to keep the food on the table
for you and mom, and at the [Am] time, every house that we [G] lived in either [D] kept getting broken
[Em] into and robbed, or shot up on the block, and your [C] mom was saving money for you in a
[D] jar, trying to start [Em] a piggy bank for you so you could go to college, almost had [C] a thousand
dollars, until [A] someone broke in and stole it, and [Em] I know it hurt so bad it broke your
mama's heart, and it seemed [C] like everything was just starting [Bm] to fall [A] apart, mom [Em] and dad
was arguing a lot, so mama moved back on to [Am] Thomas and his flat, one [G] bedroom [D] apartment,
and dad [Em] moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara, and that's [C] when daddy went
to California [G] with his CD [D] and met [Em] Dr.
Dre, and flew you and mama out to see me, but [Am] daddy
had to work, you and [A] mama had to leave me, then you [Em] started seeing daddy on the TV, and
mama didn't like [C] it, then you and Lainey were too young to [D] understand it, [Em] papa was a rolling
stone, mama developed a habit, and [Am] it all happened too fast for [C] either one of us [D] to
grab it, I'm [Em] just sorry you were there and had to witness it, for saying cause all [C] I
ever wanted to do was just make you [D] proud, now [Em] I'm sitting in this empty house, just
reminiscing, [Am] looking at your baby [C] pictures, it just trips me [D] out to see how much [Em] you both
have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now, [C] wow, guess you pretty much [F#] are, [D] daddy's
still here, [Em] Lainey I'm talking to you too, daddy's still here, I like the [Am] sound of that
chair, [G] it's got a ring [D] to it don't [Em] it, mama's only gone for the moment, now [C] little baby
don't you [D] cry, [Em] everything's gonna be alright, sniffing that old bullet [C] box little lady,
I told ya, daddy [D] said I'll [Em] hold ya through the night, I know mommy's not here [C] right
now, and we don't know [D] why, we [Em] feel how we feel inside, it may seem a little crazy, [C] pretty
baby, but I [D] promise [Em] mama's gonna be alright, and if you ask me do [C] daddy's gonna buy you
a [D] mockingbird, [Em] I'm looking for the world, I'm gonna buy a diamond [C] ring for you, I'm
a saint for you, I'll do [D] anything [Em] for you to see you smile, and if that [Am] mockingbird
don't sing and that [D] ring don't shine, I'm gonna [Em] break that birdies neck, I'll go back
to the julo, sold [C] it to ya, and make them [D] eat every [G] carrot, I'm [Em] still dead. _
