Thats My Job

G                Em          C  
I woke up crying late at night 
D       G
when I was very young
C                G    Am        
I had dreamed my father had 
            D
passed away and gone
G                 Em         
My world revolved around him, I 
            C         D    G
couldn't lie there anymore
C                         G      
So I made my way down the 
           Am     D        G
mirrored hall and tapped upon his 
door
              C         G         
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid,
          Am               G
 how will I go on with you gone that
 way?
            C           G      
Don't wanna cry anymore so may I 
            Am      D
stay with you?"

[Chorus]
              C      D  G   C   
And he said, "That's my job, 
    D      G    C            D
that's what I do.  Everything I do 
is
G       D   C                D 
because of you, to keep you 
        Em   C         D       G
safe with me.  That's my job you 
see."

[Verse 2]
G                  Em          C
Later we barely got along, this 
        D       G
teenage boy and he
            C                   
Most of the fights it seems were 
      G                Am         
over different dreams we each held
      D
 for me

G                       Em       
He wanted knowledge and learning,
   C          D        G
 I wanted to fly out West
               C                   
Said, "I could make it  out there 
    G
if I just had the fare.
       Am             D        
I got half, will you loan me the 
    G
rest."
               C        G         
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid.
          Am                  G
  There's no guarantee in the plans
                   C             
I've made.  And if I should fail, 
          G                Am
who will pay my way back home?"

[Chorus]
               C     D   G   C  
And he said, "That's my job, 
     D       G   C          D
that's what I do.  Everything I do 
is
G       D   C                D 
because of you, to keep you 
        Em   C         D       G
safe with me.  That's my job you 
see."

[Bridge]
Em              D                
   Every person carves his spot 
   C         D         G
and fills the hole with light
      C              E            
And I pray someday I might light 
  C      Am  D
as bright as he

[Verse 3]
G                  Em             
Woke up  early one bright fall 
 C              D      G
day, to spread the tragic news
        C           G              
After all my travels I settled down
Am                D
 within a mile or two
G                        Em      
   I make my living with words 
       C             D      G
and rhyme and all this tragedy
          C                G 
Should go into my head and out 
         Am          D    G
instead as bits of poetry

[Chorus]
             C          G         
But I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid,
          Am               G
 how will I go on with you gone this
way?
        C                G        
How can I come up with a song to 
     Am             D
say I love you.......?"
C       D  G  C        D      
"That's my job, that's what I 
G    C            D
do.  Everything I do is
G           C                D  
because of you, to keep you safe
      Em   C         D       G
 with me.  That's my job you see."

C            D     G       D  
Everything I do is because of 
C                D         Em
you, to keep you safe with me....
