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