Chords for Mockingbird - Eminem (Lyric Video)

_ [C] _ _ _ [D] Yeah, [Em] I know sometimes [C] things may not always [A] make sense to you right now, [Em]
but hey, Daddy
[C] always tell you, _ straighten up little [Em] soldier.
_ Sipping up that upper lip.
[Am] _ What you crying about?
[Em] You got me.
Haley, I know you miss [C] your mom and I know you miss your dad [D] 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 [A] you laugh.
I can see it [Em] in your eyes.
Deep inside you wanna cry cause you're [C] scared.
I ain't there.
Daddy's with you [D] in your prayers.
No more crying.
[Em] Wipe them tears.
Daddy's here.
No more nightmares.
We gon' hold together through it.
We gon' do it.
[D] Lainey Uncle's crazy, [Em] ain't he?
Yeah, but he loves you, girl, and you better know it.
What do we got [C] in this world?
When it spins, [D] when it swirls, when it [Em] whirls, when it twirls.
Two little beautiful girls looking puzzled [C] in a daze.
I know it's confusing you.
[Em] Daddy's always on the move.
Mama's always on the news.
I try to keep [C] you sheltered from it, but somehow it seems the harder that [Em] I try to do that,
the more it backfires on me.
All the things growing up as [C] 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 [C] it 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 [Am] ever again like we used to be when [A] we was teenagers.
But then, [Em] of course, everything always happens for a reason.
I guess it was never meant to be, but [D] this is something we have no [Em] control over, and
that's what destiny is.
But no more [C] worries.
Rest your head and go [D] to sleep.
Maybe one day [Em] we'll wake up and this'll all just be a dream.
Now, but, little [C] baby, don't you cry.
Everything's [Em] gonna be alright.
Skipping that up on the bus, little [Am] lady, [C] I told ya, Daddy said I'll [Em] hold ya through the night.
I know Mommy's not here [C] right now, and we don't know [D] why.
Feel how we [Em] feel inside.
It may seem a little crazy, [C] pretty baby, but I [D] promise Mama's gonna [Em] be alright.
It's funny, I [C] remember back one year when Daddy had no [D] money, Mommy wrapped the Christmas
[Em] presents up and stuck them under the tree until some [Am] of them were crummy.
Cause Daddy couldn't [A] buy them, I'll never forget [Em] that Christmas.
I sat up the whole night crying cause Daddy felt like a [C] bum.
See, Daddy had [D] a job, but his job was to [Em] keep the food on the table for you and Mom.
And at the time, [C] every house that we lived in either 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, trying to start [Em] a piggy bank for you
so you could go to college.
Almost had a thousand dollars [C] until 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 [D] apart.
Mom and Dad [Em] was arguing a lot, so Mama moved back on the [C] charmers in the flat.
One bedroom [D] apartment, and Dad moved back [Em] to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara.
And that's when Daddy went [C] to California with his [D] CD and met Dr.
Dre.
[Em] And flew you and Mama out to see me.
But Daddy had to [Am] work, you and Mama had [A] to 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 understand it.
Papa [Em] was a rolling stone, Mama developed a habit.
And it all [C] happened too fast for either one of us to [D] grab it.
I'm just sorry you [Em] were there and 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 [C] pictures.
It just trips me [D] out to see how much you both have [Em] grown.
It's almost like you're sisters now.
[C] Wow, I guess you pretty much are.
And [D] Daddy's still here.
Lainey, [Em] I'm talking to you too.
Daddy's still here.
I like the [C] sound of that chair.
It's got [D] a ring 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 out of Polly Pott's little [C] gaddy.
I told ya, Daddy said, I'll hold [Em] ya.
Luling died.
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 alright.
And if you ask me, do Daddy's [C] gonna buy you a [D] mockingbird?
I'm looking [Em] through the world.
I'ma buy a diamond ring [C] for you.
I'ma sing for you.
I'll do [D] anything for you to [Em] see you smile.
And if that mockingbird [C] don't sing, and that ring don't [D] shine,
I'ma break [Em] that birdie's neck.
I'll go back to the jewelers who [C] sold it to ya,
and [D] make them eat every carrot.
[Em] Don't fuck with
