Chords for Nightcore - Mockingbird (Female Version) (Lyrics)

_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Eb] _
[Fm] Yeah, I know sometimes [Bbm] things may not always make sense to [Bb] you right now.
_ [Fm] But hey, what did daddy [Db] always tell you?
[Eb] Straighten up little soldier, [Fm] tip it up with the other lip.
_ [Bbm] What you crying [Eb] about?
[Fm] You got me?
Haley, I know you miss your [Db] mom, and I know you miss your [Eb] dad,
But I'm gone, but I'm trying to [Fm] give you the life that I never had.
I can see you're sad, [Db] even when you smile, even when [Bb] you laugh.
I can see it in [Fm] your eyes, deep inside you want to cry.
Cause you're scared, now [Db] you're there, daddy's with you in [Eb] your prayers.
No more crying, wipe [Fm] your tears, daddy's here, no more nightmares.
We're gone pull [Bbm] together through a week, until our [Eb] lady uncle's crazy.
Amy, [Fm] yeah, but he loves you girl, and you better know it.
We're all we got in [Db] this world, when it spins, when [Eb] it swirls,
When it whirls, [Fm] when it twirls, two little beautiful girls,
Looking puzzled [Bbm] in a daze, I know it's [Bb] confusing you.
Daddy's always [Fm] on the move, mama's always on the news.
I tried to keep you [Db] sheltered from it, but somehow it [Eb] seems,
The harder I try to [Fm] do that, the more it backfires on me.
All the things growing [Bbm] up, daddy, daddy had to [Eb] see.
Daddy don't want you to see, [Fm] but you see just as much as he did.
We did not plan it to [Db] be this way, your mother and [Eb] me.
But things have got so bad [Fm] between us, I don't see us ever being together ever [Bbm] again.
Like we used to be when [Bb] we were teenagers.
But then of [Fm] course everything always happens for a reason.
I guess it [Db] was never meant to be, [Eb] this is something we have no [Fm] control over,
And that's what destiny is.
But no more [Bbm] worries, rest your head and go to [Eb] sleep.
Maybe one day we'll wake [Fm] up and this will all just be a dream.
Now hush now [Db] baby, don't you [Eb] cry, everything's gonna [Fm] be alright.
Sipping on a pill of love, little [Db] lady, I told you.
[Eb] Daddy said I'll hold you [Fm] through the night.
I know mommy's not here right [Db] now, I don't know.
[Eb]
I feel how we're [Fm] feeling inside.
And this seems a little crazy, [Db] pretty baby.
But I [Eb] promise mom it's gonna [Fm] be alright.
It's funny, I remember [Db] back when you and daddy had no [Eb] money.
Mommy wrapped the Christmas [Fm] presents up and stoked them under the tree.
And said, son, I'm gonna live with [Db] mommy, cause daddy could have [Bb] mom.
I'll never forget that [Fm] Christmas I stayed up the whole night crying.
Cause daddy felt like a [Db] mom, see daddy had a [Eb] job.
But his job was to keep the [Fm] food on the table for you and mom.
And at the time, every [Bbm] house that we lived in either kept [Eb] getting broken into and [Fm] robbed.
Or shot up in the block and your mom was [Db] saving money for you in a [Eb] jar.
Tried to start a piggy [Fm] bank for you so you could go to college.
Almost had a thousand [Db] dollars, until someone broke [Bb] in and stole it.
I know it hurt [Fm] so bad it broke your mama's heart.
It seemed like [Db] everything was just starting to fall [Eb] apart.
Mom and dad were [Fm] still doing the lot.
So mama moved back to the chambers [Bbm] in the flat where bedroom were [Eb] common.
And your dad moved back to [Fm] the other side of 8 Mile on Navarra.
And that's when daddy [Db] went to California with his [Eb] CD and met Dr.
Dre.
[Fm] Who would phone your mama right to see me.
But daddy [Db] had to work, your mama had to [Bb] leave me.
Then you started seeing [Fm] daddy on the TV.
And mama didn't like that [Db] you were dating what the young could [Eb] understand.
Papa wasn't [Fm] rolling stone, mama developed a habit.
And it all [Bbm] happened too fast for either one of [Eb] us to grab it.
I'm just sorry [Fm] you were there and had to witness it firsthand.
Cause all I ever [Db] wanted to do was sneak [Eb] around.
Now I'm sleeping [Fm] in this empty house.
Just reminiscing looking at your [Bbm] baby pictures.
It just trips [Eb] me out to see how much you both have [Fm] grown.
It's almost like your sisters now.
Wow, [Db] I guess you pretty much [Eb] lied.
Daddy's still here.
[Fm] Baby I'm talking to you too.
Daddy's still here.
[Db] I like the sound of that air.
[Eb] Sluttering through his [Fm] own name.
Mama's gone for the moment.
Hush little [Db] baby don't you [Eb] cry.
Everything's gonna [Fm] be alright.
Sipping that up, fill it up.
Little [Db] lady I told you.
[Eb] Daddy said I'll hold you [Fm] through the night.
I know mama's not here right [Db] now.
_ [Eb]
Feel how we [Fm] feeling inside.
And this seems a little crazy.
[Db] Pretty baby you better [Eb] promise.
Mama's [Fm] gonna be alright.
And if you ask me to.
Daddy's gonna [Db] buy you a [Eb] mockingbird.
I'm gonna [Fm] give you the world.
I'm gonna buy a diamond ring for [Db] you.
I'm gonna sing for you.
I'll [Eb] do anything for you to [Fm] see you smile.
And if the mockingbird [Db] don't sing.
And the rain don't [Eb] shine.
I'm afraid that [Fm] daddy's neck.
I'll go back to the jewel that [Db] was owned to you.
And make [Eb] him eat every carrot. [Fm] Little crocodile.
