[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 soul, [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, wiping tears.
Daddy's here, no more nightmares, we gon' go [Am] together through it, we gon' do it.
Laney 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] gonna move, mama's always gonna 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 [Am] ever 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 watch [C] little baby, don't you [D] cry, everything's gonna [Em] be alright.
Slipping right up on that box, little [C] lady, I told ya, and they [D] said I'll hold ya through [Em] the night.
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 from 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 [Em] to 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, till 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 to Thomas and the [C] flat, one bedroom
[G] apartment, and dad moved [Em] back to the other side of 8 Mile on O'Bara, 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] and 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 was there and had to witness it, but saying
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] guess you pretty much are, and 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] shh,
mama's only gone for the moment now.
Now hush little [C] baby, don't you [D] cry, everything's gonna [Em] be alright, sleeping at a bully park
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'ma [Em] give you the world, I'ma buy a diamond ring for you, [C] I'ma sing
for you, I'll do [D] anything for you to [Em] see you smile, and if that mockingbird don't [C] sing
and that ring don't [D] shine, I'ma 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 that [Em] was with
Yeah, [Em] I know sometimes [Am] things may not always make [A] sense to you right now, [Em] but hey, what
