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