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