Chords for Eminem Mockingbird Lyrics

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