[C#]
[F#] I woke up crying [D#] late at night.
[B] I [C#] was very [F#] young.
[B] I had dreamed [A#] my father [A#m] [G#] passed away [C#] and gone.
[G#] [F#] My world revolved [D#] around him.
I [B] couldn't lie [C#] there [F#] anymore.
So I [B] made my way down [A#m] the mirrored hall [G#m] and tapped [C#] upon his door.
And I said, Daddy, [A#m] I'm so afraid.
[G#m] How will I go [F#] with you gone that way?
Don't [B] want to cry anymore.
So [F#] may I stay with [G#m] you?
[C#] And he [B] said, [C#] That's my job.
[B]
[C#] That's what [F#] I do.
[D#] Everything [C#] I do [F#] is because [B] of you.
To keep [C#] you safe [D#] with me.
[B] That's [C#] my job, [F#] you see.
[C#]
[F#] Later, we barely [D#] got [D#m] along, [B] this teenage [C#] boy [F#] and he.
Most [B] of the fights, it seemed, were [A#m] over different dreams [G#] that we each held [G#] for me.
[F#] He wanted knowledge [D#] and learning.
[B] I wanted [C#m] to fly out [F#] west.
Said I [B] could make it out there [F#] if I just had the fare.
[G#m] I've got half.
Will [C#] you loan me [F#] the rest?
And I [B] said, Daddy, [A#m] I'm [F#] so afraid.
There's [G#m] no guarantee [F#] in the plans I've made.
And if I should fail, who will [A#m] pay my way back [G#m] home?
[C#]
And he [B] said, [C#] That's my [F#] job.
That's what I do.
[C#] Everything I do is because [B] of you.
To keep you [C#] safe [D#] with me.
[D#m] [B] That's my [C#] job, you [F#] see.
[D#] Every person [C#] carves a spot and fills the hole [F#] with light.
And [B] I pray someday [D#] I might shine [D#] as bright [C#] as he.
[F#] I woke up early [D#] one bright fall day [B] to spread [C#] the tragic [C#] news.
After [B] all my travel, [A#m] I'd [D#m] settle down [G#m] within a mile or two.
[G#] [F#] I make my living [D#] with words and rhymes.
[B] And [C#] all this [F#] tragedy should [B] go into my head [A#m] and out [F#] instead.
[G#] Spits of poetry.
But I say, [B] Daddy, I'm [A#m] so afraid.
How [G#m] will I go on with [F#] you gone this way?
How could [B] I come up [A#m] with a song to say [G#m] I love you?
[C#] [B]
[C#] That's my job.
That's what I [F#] do.
[D#m] Everything [C#] I do is because of you.
To [C#] keep you safe with [D#] me.
[B] That's my [C#] job, you [F#] see.
