Mockingbird

Em  C/G   D/A  Em/B
     Yeah
                Em           C/G                                D/A  Em/B
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
       Em                           C/G
But hey, what daddy always tell you?
           D/A              Em/B              Em       C/G
Straighten up little soldier, stiffen up that upper lip
                     D/A        Em/B
What you crying about? You got me

           Em                           C/G
Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
          D/A                                 Em/B
Well I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
       Em                             C/G
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
D/A                         Em/B
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
 Em                                  C/G
Cause you're scared, I ain't there? Daddy's with you in your prayers
 D/A                              Em/B
No more crying, wipe them tears, daddy's here, no more nightmares
 Em                                C/G
We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it'
               D/A                         Em/B
Laney uncles crazy, ain't he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
 Em                              C/G
We're all we got in this world when it spins, when it swirls
  D/A                     Em/B
When it whirls, when it twirls, two little beautiful girls
 Em                             C/G
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze, I know it's confusing you
 D/A                         Em/B
Daddy's always on the move, mama's always on the news
    Em                               C/G
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
             D/A                       Em/B
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
          Em                          C/G
All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see
       D/A                           Em/B
Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did
        Em                               C/G
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
                 D/A                              Em/B                   Em
But things have gotten so bad between us I don't see us ever being together ever again
        C/G                           D/A
Like we used to be when we were teenagers
             Em/B                                      Em                        C/G
But then of course everything always happens for a reason, I guess it was never meant to be
                         D/A                          Em/B
But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is
Em                               C/G
 But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
      D/A                                 Em/B
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream

     Em                C/G
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
       D/A               Em/B
Everything's gonna be alright
                       Em                 C/G
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya
                 D/A                 Em/B
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
                    Em                    C/G
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
    D/A                Em/B
We fear how we feel inside
                       Em           C/G
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
               D/A               Em/B
But I promise momma's gon' be alright

It's funny
Em                             C/G
I remember back one year when daddy had no money
        D/A                                   Em/B
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up and stuck 'em under the tree
          Em                              C/G
And said some of 'em were from me, cause daddy couldn't buy 'em
      D/A                           Em/B
I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying
             Em                   C/G
Cause daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job
         D/A                 Em/B
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
            Em         C/G
And at the time every house that we lived in
                      D/A            Em/B
Either kept getting broken into and robbed or shot up on the block
          Em             C/G
And your mom was saving money for you in a jar
        D/A                          Em/B
Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
        Em                     C/G
Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it
        D/A                    Em/B
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart
        Em                               C/G
And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
 D/A                       Em/B
Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back
         Em              C/G
On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment
     D/A                         Em/B
And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
      Em                           C/G
And that's when daddy went to California with his CD
         D/A              Em/B
And met Dr. Dre and flew you and momma out to see me
     Em                 C/G
But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me
           D/A                Em/B
Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V.
                  Em                  C/G
And momma didn't like it and you and Laney were to young to understand it
 D/A                       Em/B
Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit
       Em                C/G
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
D/A                       Em/B
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
      Em                    C/G
Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
 D/A                    Em/B
Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just reminiscing
 Em                      C/G
Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
            D/A                           Em/B
To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now
Em                C/G                                 D/A
 Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here
                   Em/B
Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here
Em                         C/G                         D/A
I like the sound of that, yeah, it's got a ring to it don't it?
                   Em/B
Shh, momma's only gone for the moment

     Em                C/G
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
       D/A               Em/B
Everything's gonna be alright
                       Em                 C/G
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya
                 D/A                 Em/B
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
                    Em                    C/G
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
    D/A                Em/B
We fear how we feel inside
                       Em           C/G
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
               D/A               Em/B
But I promise momma's gon' be alright

                       Em                      C/G
And if you ask me too Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
D/A                 Em/B
I'mma give you the world
                     Em                  C/G
I'mma buy a diamond ring for you, I'mma sing for you
                  D/A                 Em/B
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
                    Em                       C/G
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
        D/A               Em/B
I'mma break that birdies neck
                     Em                  C/G
I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
                        D/A                   Em/B
And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)
