[Em] [C] [Bm] [D] Yeah, [Em] I know sometimes [Am] things may not [Em] always make sense [D] to you right now, [Em] but hey, [C] what
daddy always tell you, [A] straighten up a [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 [Bm] 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 [F#] with you in your [A] 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.
Lainey [D] Uncle's crazy, [Em] ain't he?
Yeah, but he loves you, girl, and you better know it.
What do [C] we got in this [Bm] world?
When it 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 stoked from it, but somehow it seems [D] the harder that I [Em] try to do that,
the more it becomes.
backfires on me.
All the things [Am] growing up as Daddy, Daddy [G] had to see.
[D] Daddy don't [Em] want you to see, but you see just as much as he did.
We did not plan [C] 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 ever [Am] 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 [Bm] be, but it's just [D] 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'll all just be a dream.
Now watch [C] little baby don't you cry, [D] everything's [Em] gonna be alright
Stiff and glad to pull apart [Am] little lady, [C] I told ya
And they [D] said I'll hold [Em] ya through the night
I know mommy's not here [C] right 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 [Em] mama's gonna be alright
It's funny, I [C] remember back one year when daddy [D] had no money
Mommy wrapped the [Em] Christmas presents up and stuck them under the printer
Some of [Am] them were gummy, cause daddy couldn't buy them
[D] I'll never [Em] forget that Christmas, I sat up the whole night crying
Cause daddy felt [C] like a bum
See daddy [A] had a job, but his job was to [Em] keep the food on the table for you and mom
And at the time, [Am] every house that we lived [G] in either kept [D] getting broken [Em] into and robbed
A shot up on the block and your mom [C] was saving money for you in a jar
[D] Trying to start a [Em] piggy bank for you so you could go to college
Almost had a [C] thousand dollars, until someone broke in and [A] 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 [Am] fall apart
Mom and [Em] dad was arguing a lot, so mama moved back on to [Am] Thomas and the flat
One [G] bedroom apartment [D] and dad moved [Em] back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
And that's when [C] daddy went to California [B] with his TV [D] and met Dr.
[Em] Dre
And flew you and mama out to see me
But daddy [Am] had to work, [Em] you and mama had to leave me
[A] 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
Papa [Em] was a rolling stone, mama developed a habit
And it [Am] all happened too [C] fast for either one of us to [D] grab it
I'm just [Em] sorry you were there and had to witness it
For saying cause all I [C] ever wanted to do was just make you proud
[D] Now I'm [Em] sitting in this empty house, just reminiscing
Looking [Am] at your baby [C] pictures, 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, guess you pretty much [F#] are
And daddy's [D] still here, [Em] Lainey I'm talking to you too
Daddy's still here, I [Am] like the sound of that chair
It's [G] got a ring to [D] it, don't it?
[Em] Mama's only gone for the moment
Now hush [C] little baby, don't you cry
[D] Everything's [Em] gonna be alright
Sipping that bubbly bubble, [C] little lady
I told [D] ya, daddy said I'll hold [Em] ya, all night
I know mommy's not here [C] right 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 promise [D] [Em] mama's gonna be alright
And if you ask me, do daddy's [C] gonna buy you a mockingbird?
[D] I'm [Em] looking through the world
I'ma buy a diamond ring for [C] you, I'ma sing for you
I'll do anything [D] for you [Em] to see you smile
And if that mockingbird [C] don't sing, and that ring [F#] don't shine
[D] I'ma break [Em] that birdie's neck
I'll go back to the [C] jewelers, sold it to ya
And make them eat [D] every carrot, [Em] don't fuck with dad
daddy always tell you, [A] straighten up a [Em] little soldier.
Stiffen up that upper lip.
[Am] [G] What you crying [D] about?
[Em] You got me.
