Chords for Eminem - Mockingbird (Lyrics)

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