Chords for Eminem - Mockingbird (Lyrics)

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