Chords for Eminem - Mockingbird (Lyrics)

_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [D] Yeah, _ _
[Em] _ _ I know sometimes _ _ [C] 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 [D] about?
_ _ [Em] You got me.
_ Haley, I know you miss [C] your mom, and I know you miss your [D] dad when I'm gone, but I'm trying
to [Em] give you the life that I never had.
I can see you're [C] sad, even when you smile, even when you [A] laugh, I can see [Em] it in your eyes.
Deep inside, you wanna cry, cause you're scared, [C] I ain't there, daddy's with you in your [D] prayers,
no more crying, [Em] wipe them tears, daddy's here, no more nightmares, we gon' pull together
[Am] through it, we gon' [C] 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 [D] it swirls, when it [Em] whirls, when it twirls, two little beautiful girls
looking [C] puzzled in a daze, I know it's [D] confusing you, daddy's always [Em] on the move, mama's always
on the news, I try to keep [C] you sheltered from it, but somehow it seems the [D] harder that I
try to [Em] do that, the more it backfires on me.
All the things growing [C] up as daddy, daddy had to see, [D] daddy don't want you to [Em] see, but
you see just as much as he did, we did not plan it [C] to be this way, your mother and me,
but [D] 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, but then [Em] of course everything always happens for a
reason, I guess [C] it was never meant to be, but it's just [D] something we have no [Em] control
over, and that's what destiny is.
Well no more [C] worries, rest your head and go to sleep, [D] maybe one day we'll [Em] wake up and
this'll all just be a dream. Now what?
Little [C] baby, don't you [D] cry, everything's gonna be [Em]
alright, sniffing that up on the
park, little [C] lady, I told ya, daddy [D] said I'll hold ya [Em] all night, _ I know mommy's not
here right [C] now, and we don't know why, [D] we feel how we [Em] feel inside, it may seem a little
crazy, pretty baby, but I [D] promise mama's gonna [Em] 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 em under the tree and said some of em were [C] from me, cause daddy
couldn't buy [A] em, I'll never forget [Em] that Christmas, I sat up the whole night crying cause daddy
felt like a [C] bum, see daddy had a job [D] 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 [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
[D] jar, tryna start a [Em] piggy bank for you so you could go to college, almost had a thousand
[C] dollars, till someone broke in [A] and stole it, and I know it [Em] hurt so bad it broke your mama's
heart, and it seemed like [C] everything was just starting to fall apart, [D]
mom and dad was
[Em] arguing a lot, so mama moved back on the charmers [C] in the flat, one bedroom apartment, [D] and dad
moved back to [Em] the other side of 8 mile on Novara, and that's when daddy went [C] to California
with his CD [D] and met Dr.
Dre, [Em] who 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, and [C] you and Lainey were too young to [D] understand it, papa was [Em] 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 [Em] sorry
you was there and had to witness it, for saying cause all I ever [C] wanted to do was just make
you [D] proud, now I'm sitting [Em] in this empty house, just reminiscing, looking at [Am] your baby pictures,
[C] it just trips me [D] out to see how much you both have [Em] grown, it's almost like your sisters now,
wow, [C] I guess you pretty much are, and daddy's [D] still here, Lainey I'm [Em] talking to you too, _
daddy's still here, I like [C] the sound of that chair, it's got a ring to [D] 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 all right,
step in that upper lip up little [C] lady, I told you daddy [D] said I'll hold you [Em] through the night,
I know mommy's not here right [C] now, and we don't know [D] why, we feel how we feel [Em] inside,
it may seem a little crazy, [C] pretty baby, but I [D] promise mama's gonna [Em] be all right,
and if you ask me too, daddy's gonna [C] buy you a _ [D] mockingbird, I'm looking [Em] 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 to [Em] see you
smile, and if that mockingbird [C] don't sing, and that ring don't shine, [D] I'm gonna break that [Em] birdie's
neck, I'll go back to the jewel of who sold [C] it to you, and make them eat [D] every carrot, don't [Em] fuck with dad.
