[Ab] [Db] [Ab] [Db]
[Fm] [Db] [Eb] [Ab]
I woke up crying [Fm] late at [Db] night [Eb] when I was [Ab] very young.
[Db] I had [Ab] dreamed my father [Bbm] had passed away [Eb] and gone.
[Ab] My world [Fm] revolved around him.
I [Db] couldn't lie [Eb] there [Ab] anymore.
So I [Db] made my way [Ab] down the mirrored hall
[Bbm] and tapped [Eb] upon [Ab] his door.
And I said, [Db] [Ab] Daddy, I'm so afraid.
[Bbm] How will I go on [Ab] with you gone [Bbm] that [Ab] way?
[Db] Don't want to cry anymore.
[Ab] So may I stay [Bbm] with you?
[Eb]
And he [Db] said, [Eb] That's my [Ab] job.
[Db] [Eb] That's what I [Ab] do.
[Db] Everything [Eb] I do [Ab] is because [Db] of you.
To keep [Eb] you safe [Fm] with me.
[Eb] [Db] That's my [Eb] job, [Ab] you see.
[Bbm] [Ab] Later, we barely [Fm] got along, [Db] this teenage [Eb] boy [Ab] and he.
Most [Db] of the fights, it seemed, were [Ab] over different dreams
[Bbm] that we each held [Eb] for me.
[Ab] He wanted knowledge [Fm] and learning.
[Db] I wanted [Eb] to fly [Ab] out west.
Said [Db] I could make it out there [Ab] if I just had the fare.
[Bbm] I've got half.
[Eb] Will you loan [Ab] me the rest?
And I [Db] said, [Ab] Daddy, I'm so afraid.
[Bbm] There's no guarantee [Ab] in the plans [Bbm] I've [Ab] made.
[Db] And if I should fail, [Ab] who will pay my way [Bbm] back home?
[Eb] And he [Db] said, That's [Eb] my [Ab] job.
[Db]
[Eb] That's what [Ab] I do.
[Db] Everything [Eb] I do [Ab] is because [Db] of you.
To keep [Eb] you safe [Fm] with me.
[Eb] [Db] That's [Eb] my [Ab] job, you see.
[Eb] [Fm]
Every [Cm] person carves a spot [Db] and [Eb] fills the hole [Ab] with light.
[Db] And I pray someday [F] I might [Bbm] light as bright [Eb] as he.
[Ab] I woke up early [Fm] one bright fall day [Db] to [Eb] spread the [Ab] tragic news.
[Db] After all my travel, [Ab] I settled [Bbm] down within a mile [Eb] or two.
[Bbm] [Gm] [Ab] I make my [Fm] living with words and [Eb] rhymes.
[Db] And [Eb] all this [Ab] tragedy should [Db] go into my head [Ab] and out instead.
[Bbm] As [Eb] bits of [Ab] poetry.
But I [Db] say, [Ab] Daddy, I'm so afraid.
[Bbm] How will I go on [Ab] with you gone [Bbm] this way?
[Ab] How could I come up with a song to say [Bbm] I love you?
[Eb]
[Db] [Eb] That's my [Ab] job.
[Db] [Eb] That's what [Ab] I do.
[Db] Everything [Eb] I do [Ab] is because [Db] of you.
To keep [Eb] you safe [Fm] with me.
[Db] That's my [Eb] job, [Ab] you see.
[Bbm] [Ab] [Db] Everything [Eb] I do is [Ab] because [Db] of you.
To keep you [Eb] safe with [Fm] me.
