Verse 2
(G major) My world revolved a (E minor) round him
I couldn't (C major) lie there (D major) anymore (G major)
So I (C major) made my way down the (G major) mirrored hall
And (A minor) tapped up (D major) on his door (G major)
Chorus 1
And I said (C major) "Daddy, I'm (B minor) so afraid
How will (A minor) I go on with you (G major) gone that way?
Don't want to (C major) cry anymore,
so (B minor) may I stay with you?" (A minor)
(D major) And he said (C major) "That's (D major) my job (G major)
(C major) That's (D major) what I do (G major)
Eve (C major) rything I (D major) do is be (G major) cause of (C major) you
To keep you safe (D major) with me (E minor)
(C major) That's my job, (D major) you see" (G major)
Verse 3
(G major) Later we barely got along (E minor)
This (C major) teenage (D major) boy and he (G major)
Most of the (C major) fights it seems
Were over (G major) different dreams
(A minor) We each held for me (D major)
Verse 4
(G major) He wanted knowledge and (E minor) learning
I (C major) wanted to fly (D major) out west (G major)
Said, "I could (C major) make it out there
If I (G major) just had the fare
I got (A minor) half, will you (D major) loan me the (G major) rest?"
Chorus 2
And I said (C major) "Daddy, I'm (B minor) so afraid
There's no (A minor) guarantee in the (G major) plans
I've made, and if (C major) I should fail
Who will (B minor) pay my way back (A minor) home?"
(D major) And he said (C major) "That's (D major) my job (G major)
(C major) That's (D major) what I do (G major)
Eve (C major) rything I (D major) do is be (G major) cause of (C major) you
To keep you safe (D major) with me (E minor)
(C major) That's my job, (D major) you see" (G major)
Bridge 1
(E minor) Every person (B minor) carves his spot
And (C major) fills the (D major) hole with light (G major)
And I (C major) pray someday I might (E major)
Light as (A minor) bright as he (D major)
Verse 5
(G major) Woke up early one bright (E minor) fall day
(C major) To spread the (D major) tragic news (G major)
After (C major) all my travel, (G major) I settled down
(A minor) Within a mile or two (D major)
Verse 6
(G major) I make my living with (E minor) words and rhyme
(C major) And all this (D major) tragedy, (G major)
should go (C major) into my head and (G major) out instead
(A minor) as bits of (D major) poetry (G major)
Chorus 3
But I say (C major) "Daddy, I'm (B minor) so afraid
How will (A minor) I go on with you (G major) gone this way?
How can (C major) I come up with a (B minor) song to say
I (A minor) love you?" (D major)
(C major) "That's (D major) my job, (G major) (C major) that's (D major) what I do (G major)
Eve (C major) rything I (D major) do is be (G major) cause of (C major) you
To keep you safe (D major) with me (E minor)
(C major) That's my job, (D major) you see" (G major)
(C major) Everything I (D major) do is be (G major) cause of (C major) you
To keep you safe (D major) with me" (E minor)
(C major) (D major) (G major)
