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