[Em] [C/G] Yeah[D/A] [Em/B]
I know sometimes[Em] things may n[C/G]ot always make sense to you right n[D/A]ow[Em/B]
But hey[Em], what daddy always tell you?[C/G]
Straighten [D/A]up little soldier[Em/B], stiffen up that [Em]upper lip[C/G]
What you crying about[D/A]? You got m[Em/B]e
Hailie I kn[Em]ow you miss your mom and I kn[C/G]ow you miss your dad
Well I'm g[D/A]one but I'm trying to give you the l[Em/B]ife that I never had
I can s[Em]ee you're sad, even when you sm[C/G]ile, even when you laugh
[D/A]I can see it in your eyes, d[Em/B]eep inside you want to cry
C[Em]ause you're scared, I ain't there? D[C/G]addy's with you in your prayers
N[D/A]o more crying, wipe them tears, d[Em/B]addy's here, no more nightmares
W[Em]e gon' pull together through it, w[C/G]e gon' do it'
Laney uncles cr[D/A]azy, ain't he? Yeah but he l[Em/B]oves you girl and you better know it
W[Em]e're all we got in this world wh[C/G]en it spins, when it swirls
Wh[D/A]en it whirls, when it tw[Em/B]irls, two little beautiful girls
L[Em]ookin' puzzled, in a daze, I kn[C/G]ow it's confusing you
D[D/A]addy's always on the move, m[Em/B]ama's always on the news
I tr[Em]y to keep you sheltered from it b[C/G]ut somehow it seems
The harder th[D/A]at I try to do that, the m[Em/B]ore it backfires on me
All the th[Em]ings growing up his daddy th[C/G]at he had to see
Daddy d[D/A]on't want you to see but you s[Em/B]ee just as much as he did
We did n[Em]ot plan it to be this way, your m[C/G]other and me
But things have g[D/A]otten so bad between us I don't s[Em/B]ee us ever being togeth[Em]er ever again
Like we [C/G]used to be when we were teenag[D/A]ers
But then of c[Em/B]ourse everything always happens for a reas[Em]on, I guess it was never m[C/G]eant to be
But it's just something w[D/A]e have no control over and th[Em/B]at's what destiny is
[Em] But no more worries, rest your h[C/G]ead and go to sleep
Maybe [D/A]one day we'll wake up and this will [Em/B]all just be a dream
Now h[Em]ush little baby, d[C/G]on't you cry
Everyth[D/A]ing's gonna be alr[Em/B]ight
Stiffen that upper lip [Em]up little lady, I t[C/G]old ya
Daddy's here to h[D/A]old ya through the n[Em/B]ight
I know mommy's not h[Em]ere right now and we d[C/G]on't know why
We f[D/A]ear how we feel ins[Em/B]ide
It may seem a little cr[Em]azy, pretty b[C/G]aby
But I promise m[D/A]omma's gon' be alr[Em/B]ight
It's funny
[Em]I remember back one year when d[C/G]addy had no money
Mommy wr[D/A]apped the Christmas presents up and st[Em/B]uck 'em under the tree
And said s[Em]ome of 'em were from me, cause d[C/G]addy couldn't buy 'em
I'll n[D/A]ever forget that Christmas I s[Em/B]at up the whole night crying
Cause daddy f[Em]elt like a bum, see d[C/G]addy had a job
But his j[D/A]ob was to keep the f[Em/B]ood on the table for you and mom
And at the t[Em]ime every h[C/G]ouse that we lived in
Either kept getting br[D/A]oken into and r[Em/B]obbed or shot up on the block
And your m[Em]om was saving m[C/G]oney for you in a jar
Tryna st[D/A]art a piggy bank for you so y[Em/B]ou could go to college
Almost h[Em]ad a thousand dollars t[C/G]ill someone broke in and stole it
And I kn[D/A]ow it hurt so bad it br[Em/B]oke your momma's heart
And it s[Em]eemed like everything was just st[C/G]artin' to fall apart
M[D/A]om and dad was arguin' a l[Em/B]ot so momma moved back
On the Ch[Em]almers in the fl[C/G]at one bedroom apartment
And d[D/A]ad moved back to the other s[Em/B]ide of 8 Mile on Novara
And th[Em]at's when daddy went to Calif[C/G]ornia with his CD
And met D[D/A]r. Dre and flew y[Em/B]ou and momma out to see me
But d[Em]addy had to work, y[C/G]ou and momma had to leave me
Then you st[D/A]arted seeing daddy [Em/B]on the T.V.
And momma didn't l[Em]ike it and you and L[C/G]aney were to young to understand it
P[D/A]apa was a rollin' stone, m[Em/B]omma developed a habit
And it [Em]all happened too f[C/G]ast for either one of us to grab it
[D/A]I'm just sorry you were th[Em/B]ere and had to witness it first hand
Cause [Em]all I ever wanted to d[C/G]o was just make you proud
N[D/A]ow I'm sitting in this [Em/B]empty house, just reminiscing
L[Em]ookin' at your baby pict[C/G]ures, it just trips me out
To see how m[D/A]uch you both have grown, it's [Em/B]almost like you're sisters now
[Em] Wow, guess you pr[C/G]etty much are and daddy's still here[D/A]
Laney I'm talkin' t[Em/B]o you too, daddy's still here
[Em]I like the sound of that, y[C/G]eah, it's got a ring to it d[D/A]on't it?
Shh, momma's only g[Em/B]one for the moment
Now h[Em]ush little baby, d[C/G]on't you cry
Everyth[D/A]ing's gonna be alr[Em/B]ight
Stiffen that upper lip [Em]up little lady, I t[C/G]old ya
Daddy's here to h[D/A]old ya through the n[Em/B]ight
I know mommy's not h[Em]ere right now and we d[C/G]on't know why
We f[D/A]ear how we feel ins[Em/B]ide
It may seem a little cr[Em]azy, pretty b[C/G]aby
But I promise m[D/A]omma's gon' be alr[Em/B]ight
And if you ask me too D[Em]addy's gonna buy you a m[C/G]ockingbird
[D/A]I'mma give you the w[Em/B]orld
I'mma buy a diamond r[Em]ing for you, I'mma s[C/G]ing for you
I'll do anything f[D/A]or you to see you sm[Em/B]ile
And if that mockingb[Em]ird don't sing and that r[C/G]ing don't shine
I'mma br[D/A]eak that birdies n[Em/B]eck
I'll go back to the j[Em]eweler who sold it t[C/G]o ya
And make him eat every c[D/A]arat don't f**k with d[Em/B]ad (ha ha)
