Mockingbird Chords by Eminem

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