Chords for Eminem - Mockingbird (Lyrics)

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