[Em] [C] [Bm] [D] Yeah, [Em] I know sometimes [Am] things may not [Em] always make [A] sense to you right now, [Em] but hey, what
daddy [C] always tell you, [A] straighten up little soldier.
[Em]
Stiffen up that upper lip.
[Am] [C] What you [D] 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
to [Em] give you the life that I never had.
I can see you're sad, [Am] even when you [C] smile, even [D] when you laugh.
I can see it [Em] in your eyes.
Deep inside, you wanna cry, cause you're scared.
[C] I ain't there.
[F#] Daddy's with you [A] in your prayers.
No more crying, [Em] wipe them tears.
Daddy's here, no more nightmares.
We gon' hold each [Am] other through it.
[C] We gon' do it.
[D] Lainey Uncle's [Em] crazy, ain't he?
Yeah, but he loves you, girl, and you better know it.
What all we got [C] in this world?
[Bm] When it spins, [D] when it swirls, when it whirls, [Em] when it twirls.
Two little beautiful girls, looking puzzled [Am] in a daze.
I know it's [D] confusing you.
Daddy's always [Em] on the move.
Mama's always on the news.
I try to keep you [C] sheltered from it, [F#m] but somehow it seems the harder that I try to [Em] do that,
the more it backfires on me.
All the things growing [Am] up as Daddy, [G] Daddy had to [D] see.
Daddy [Em] don't want you to see, but you see just as much as he did.
We did not plan it to [C] be this way.
Your mother and [D] me, but things have got so bad [Em] between us, I don't see us ever being together ever [Am] again.
Like we used to be when [D] we was teenagers, but then [Em] of course everything always happens for a reason.
I guess [C] it was never meant to be, [D] but it's just something we have no [Em] control over, and that's what destiny is.
Well, no [Am] more worries.
Rest [G] your head and go to [D] sleep.
Maybe [Em] one day we'll wake up and this'll all just be a dream.
Now, little [C] baby, don't you [D] cry.
Everything's gonna [Em] be alright.
It's different than a bully but little [C] 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 we [Em] feel inside.
It may seem a little crazy, [C] pretty baby, but [D] I promise Mama's [Em] gonna be alright.
It's funny, I remember [C] back one year [Bm] when Daddy had [D] no money, Mommy wrapped the Christmas [Em] presents up
and stuck them under the tree until some of them [Am] were from me, cause Daddy [A] couldn't buy them.
I'll never forget [Em] that Christmas.
I sat up the whole night crying cause Daddy felt like [C] a bum.
[Bm] 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 [G] that we lived in [D] either kept getting broken [Em] into and robbed
or shot up on the block, and your Mom [C] was saving money for you in [D] 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 [A] broke in 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 [A] apart.
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 CD and met Dr.
[Em] Dre,
and flew you and Mama out to see me, but Daddy had [Am] to work, you 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 [Em] was a rolling stone, Mama developed a habit,
and it [Am] all happened too [C] fast for either [D] one of us to grab it.
I'm just [Em] sorry you were there and had to witness it,
but saying cause all I [C] ever wanted to do was just make you proud.
[D] Now I'm [Em] sitting in this empty house, just reminiscing,
looking [Am] at your baby [C] pictures, it just trips me out to [D] see how much you [Em] both have grown,
it's almost like you're sisters now.
Wow, [C] I guess you pretty much are, but Daddy's [D] still here,
[Em] Lainey I'm talking to you too, Daddy's still here,
I [Am] like the sound of that chair, it's [G] got a ring to [D] it don't it?
[Em] Mama's only gone for
