Eminem - Mockingbird (Lyrics) Chords

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