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/B) mirrored hall
And (A minor) tapped up (D major) on his door (G major)
Chorus 1
And I said (C major) "Daddy, I'm (G/B) 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 (G/B) 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/B) 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/B) 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 (G/B) 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 (G/B) 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/B) 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/B) out instead
(A minor) as bits of (D major) poetry (G major)
Chorus 3
But I say (C major) "Daddy, I'm (G/B) 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 (G/B) 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)
