Eminem - Mockingbird (Lyrics) Chords

[Em] _ [C] _ _ [B] _ [D] [Em] Yeah, I know sometimes, [Am] those may not [Em] always make sense to [D] you right now, [Em] but hey, what
[C] daddy always tell me, [A] straighten up a [Em] little soldier, stiffen up that upper lip, [Am] _ [C] you crying
[D] about, [Em] you got me?
Haley I know you [C] miss your mom, and I know you [Bm] miss your dad when [D] I'm gone, but I'm [Em] trying
to give you the life that I never had, I can see you're [Am] sad, even when you smile, even
when you [D] laugh, I can [Em] see it in your eyes, deep inside you wanna cry, cause you're [C] scared,
I ain't there?
Daddy's with you in your [A] prayers, no more [Em] crying, wipe them tears, daddy's here, no more
nightmares, we gon' [Am] pull together through it, we gon' [C] do it, man the [D] uncle's crazy, [Em] ain't he?
Yeah, but he loves you girl, and you better know it, what all [C] we got in this [B] world, when
it spins, when it [D] swirls, when it [Em] whirls, when it twirls, two little beautiful girls,
looking [Am] puzzled in a daze, I know [D] it's confusing you, daddy's [Em] always on the move, mama's always
on the news, I try to [C] keep you self-deprived, but somehow it seems the [D] harder that I [Em] try
to do that, the more it backfires on me, all the things [Am] growing up as daddy, daddy
[G] had to see, [D] daddy don't want [Em] you to see, but you see just as much as he did, we did not
plan [C] it to be this way, your mother [G] and me, but [D] things have got so [Em] bad between us, I don't
see us ever being together ever [Am] again, like we used to be when we was [D] teenagers, but [Em] then
of course everything always happens for a reason, [C] I guess it was never meant to [Bm] be,
but it's just [A] something we have [Em] no control over, and that's what destiny is, but [Am] no more
worries, rest your head and [G] go to sleep, [D] maybe one day we'll [Em] wake up, and this'll all just
be a dream, now watch [C] little baby, don't you cry, [D] everything's [Em] gonna be alright, if
you let a bully fuck [Am] little lady, [C] I told ya, daddy [D] said I'll hold ya, [Em] through the night,
I know mommy's not here [C] right now, and we don't know why, [D] we feel [Em] how he's gonna decide,
it may seem a little crazy, [C] pretty baby, but I promise [D] [Em] mama's gonna be alright, it's funny,
I [C] remember back one [G] year when daddy [D] had no money, mommy wrapped the [Em] Christmas presents
up and stuck them under the tree, and said some of [Am] them were crummy, cause daddy couldn't
buy them, I'll never forget [Em] that Christmas, I sat up the whole night crying, cause daddy
felt [C] like a bum, see daddy had [A] a job, but his job was to keep [Em] the food on the table
for you and mom, and at the time, [Am] every house that we lived [G] in either kept [D] getting broken
[Em] into and robbed, or shot up on the block, and your mom [C] was saving money for you [D] in a
jar, trying to start a [Em] piggy bank for you, so you could go to college, almost had a [C] thousand
dollars, until someone [D] broke in and stole it, and I know [Em] it hurts so bad it broke your
mama's heart, and it seems like [C] everything was just [G] starting to fall apart, [A] mom and dad
[Em] was arguing a lot, so mama moved back on the Thomas [Am] and the flat, one bedroom [G] apartment,
[D] and dad moved back [Em] to the other side of 8 mile on Novara, and that's when [C] daddy went
to California with [D] his TV, and met Dr.
Dre, [Em] and flew you and mama out to see me, but daddy
had [Am] to work, you [Em] and mama had [A] to leave me, then you started [Em] seeing daddy on the TV, and
mama didn't like it, [C] and you and Lainey were too [D] young to understand it, papa was [Em] a rolling
stone, mama developed a habit, and it all [Am] happened too [C] fast for either one [D] of us to
grab it, I'm just [Em] sorry you were there and had to witness it, for saying cause all I
[C] ever wanted to do was just make [D] you proud, now I'm [Em] sitting in this empty house, just
reminiscing, looking at [Am] your baby pictures, it just trips [D] me out to see how much you both
[Em] have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now, wow, [C] guess you pretty much are, [D] and daddy's
still here, [Em] Lainey I'm talking to you too, daddy's still here, I like [Am] the sound of that
[G] chair, it's [D] got a ring to it [Em] don't it, shh, mama's only gone for the moment, now, little
[C] baby don't you [D] cry, everything's gonna [Em] be alright, sniffing that up on that pop [C] little
lady, I told ya, [D] daddy said I'll hold ya [Em] through the night, I know mommy's not here right [C] now,
and we don't know [D] why, we feel how [Em] we feel inside, it may seem a little crazy, [C] pretty
baby, but I promise [D] mama's [Em] gonna be alright, and if you ask me, do daddy's gonna [C] buy you
[D] a mockingbird, I'm looking [Em] through the world, I'm gonna buy a diamond ring for [C] you, I'm
gonna sing for you, I'll [D] do anything for you to [Em] see you smile, and if that mockingbird
don't [C] sing and that ring don't [D] shine, I'm gonna break that [Em] birdie's neck, I'll go back
to the jewel of who [C] sold it to ya, and [D] make him eat every carrot, don't [Em] fuck with dad. _
