Verse 1
(E minor) (C major) (D major) (E minor) Yeah,
I know sometimes things may not
(C major) always make sense to you right (D major) now (E minor)
But hey, what daddy always tell you (C major)
Straighten (D major) up little soldier (E minor)
Stiffen up that up a little
(C major) What you crying about? (D major)
You got (E minor) me Haley,
I know you miss your (C major) mom
And I know you miss your
dad when I'm gone
(D major) But I'm trying to give
you the life (E minor) that I never had
I can see you're sad,
even when you (C major) smile,
even when you laugh
(D major) I can see it in your eyes,
(E minor) deep inside you wanna cry
Cause you're scared, I ain't there,
(C major) daddy's with you in your prayers
(D major) No more crying, wipe them tears,
(E minor) daddy's here, no more nightmares
We gon' pull together through it,
(C major) we gon' do it
Lainey Uncle's (D major) crazy, ain't he?
Yeah, but he (E minor) loves you girl
And you better know it,
we're all we got in this world
(C major) When it spins, when it swirls,
(D major) when it whirls, when it twirls
(E minor) Two little beautiful girls,
looking puzzled in a daze
(C major) I know it's confusing you,
(D major) daddy's always on the move
(E minor) Mama's always on the news,
I try to keep you sheltered from it
(C major) But somehow it seems the harder
(D major) that I try to do that,
the (E minor) more it backfires on me
All the things growing up as daddy
(C major) that he had to see
Daddy (D major) don't want you to see,
but you see (E minor) just as much as he did
We did not plan it to (C major) be this way,
your mother and me
But things (D major) have got so bad
between us,
I don't (E minor) see us ever being
together ever again
Like (C major) we used to be
when we was teenager (D major) s
But then of course everything
(E minor) always happens for a reason
I guess (C major) it was never meant to be
But it's just something (D major) we
have no control over
And (E minor) that's what destiny is
But no more worries,
rest (C major) your head and go to sleep
Maybe (D major) one day we'll wake (E minor) up
and this'll all just be a dream
Now hush little baby,
(C major) don't you cry
Everything's (D major) gonna be alright
(E minor) Stiffen that up, pull it buck, little lady
I (C major) told ya, daddy said (D major) I'll hold
ya through (E minor) the night
I know mommy's not here right now
and we (C major) don't know why
We (D major) feel how we feel inside
(E minor) It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
(C major) But I promise mama's (D major) gon' be alright
(E minor) It's funny,
I remember back one year
(C major) when daddy had no money
mommy (D major) wrapped the christmas
presents up
(E minor) and stuck them under the tree
and said some of them were from me
cause (C major) daddy couldn't buy em
i'll (D major) never forget that christmas
i sat (E minor) up the whole night crying
cause daddy felt like a bum
see (C major) daddy had a job
but his (D major) job was to keep the food on the (E minor) table
for you and mom
and at the time every house
that (C major) we lived in
either kept getting (D major) broken into
and robbed or (E minor) shot up on the block
and your mom was saving
money (C major) for you in a jar
trying to (D major) start a piggy bank for you
so (E minor) you could go to college
almost had a thousand dollars
till (C major) someone broke in and stole (D major) it
and I know it (E minor) hurts so bad
it broke your mama's heart
and it seems like everything was
just start (C major) ing to fall apart
mo (D major) m and dad was arguing a (E minor) lot so mama
moved back on the charmers
in a flat one (C major) -bedroom apartment
and (D major) dad moved back to the other side
of (E minor) eight mile on Novara
and that's when daddy
went to Califor (C major) nia
with his CD
and met (D major) dr. Dre and flew you
an (E minor) d mama out to see me
but daddy had to work you
an (C major) d mama had to leave me
then you (D major) started seeing daddy on the (E minor) TV
and momma didn't like it
and you and Lainey (C major) were too
young to understand it
(D major) Papa was a rolling stone,
(E minor) momma developed a habit
and it all happened too fast
(C major) for either one of us to grab (D major) it
I'm just sorry you were there
and (E minor) had to witness it first hand
cause all I ever wanted to do
(C major) was just make you proud now
(D major) I'm sitting (E minor) in this empty house
discriminating looking at your baby pictures
(C major) it just trips me out to see (D major) how much
you both have grown
it's almost (E minor) like you're sisters now
wow, (C major) I guess you pretty
much are
and daddy's still (D major) here
Lainey, I'm talking to (E minor) you too.
Daddy's still here.
I like the sound of the (C major) chair.
It's got a ring to it, (D major) don't it?
Shh, mama's only (E minor) gone for the moment.
Now hush, little baby,
(C major) don't you cry.
(D major) Everything's gonna be alright.
(E minor) Stiffen that up, pull it buck, little lady.
I (C major) told ya, daddy's here (D major) to hold
ya through the night.
(E minor) I know mommy's not here right now,
and we (C major) don't know why.
(D major) We feel how we feel inside.
(E minor) It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby,
(C major) but I promise (D major) mama's gon' be alright.
(E minor) And if you ask me to,
daddy's gonna buy you a (C major) mockingbird
I'ma (D major) give you the world,
(E minor) I'ma buy a diamond ring for you
(C major) I'ma sing for you,
I'll do anything for (D major) you to see you smile
(E minor) And if that mockingbird don't sing
and (C major) that ring don't shine
I'ma (D major) break that birdie's neck (E minor)
I'll go back to the jeweler who (C major) sold it to ya
And make him eat every (D major) carrot,
don't fuck with dad (E minor)
