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