[Intro]
Em C      Em                 
■  ■ Yeah ■  I know sometimes
       C                                          Em
Things may not always make sense to you right now ■ 
Em     
But hey
           C              
What Daddy always tell you
                     Em     
Straighten up little soldier
                          C
Stiffen up that upper lip ■
         C           
What you cryin' about
Em        
You got me


[Verse]
                            C                               
Hailie I know you miss your Mom and I know you miss your Dad
                                Em                                
When I'm gone but I'm tryin' to give you the life that I never had
                     C                                      
I can see you're sad even when you smile even when you laugh
                Em                                 
I can see it in your eyes deep inside you wanna cry
                     C                                             
'cause you're scared I ain't there Daddy's wit' you in your prayers
               Em                                             
No more cryin' wipe them tears Daddy's here no more nightmares
             C                                
We gon' pull together through it we gon' do it
                              Em                                               
Lainie Uncle's crazy ain't he Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
                 Cmaj7                                     
We're all we got in this world when it spins when it swirls
               Em                                       
When it whirls when it twirls two little beautiful girls
                C                                  
Lookin' puzzled in a daze I know it's confusin' you
               Em                                   
Daddy's always on the move Mama's always on the news
                  C                                     
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
                         Em                                 
The harder that I try to do that the more it backfires on me
                       C                             
All the things growin' up as Daddy that he had to see
                        Em                                    
Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did
                         C                          
We did not plan it to be this way your mother and me
                           Em                                  
But things have got so bad between us I don't see us ever bein'
              Am                            C               
Together ever again like we used to be when we was teenagers
            Em                                           
But then of course everything always happens for a reason
        C                       
I guess it was never meant to be
                                   Em                                     
But it's just somethin' we have no control over and that's what destiny is
            C                                     
But no more worries rest your head and go to sleep
                         Em                                
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this'll all just be a dream


[Chorus]
                C                 
Now hush little baby don't you cry
                      Em     
Everything's gonna be alright
                                 C             
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told ya
                                Em       
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
                              C                        
I know Mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
               Em         
We feel how we feel inside
                           C          
It may seem a little crazy pretty baby
                             Em     
But I promise Mama's gon' be alright
         Em   
Heh it's funny


[Verse]
           C                               D    
I remember back one year when Daddy had no money
                            Em                                      
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up and stuck 'em under the tree
                          C                                    
And said some of 'em were from me 'cause Daddy couldn't buy 'em
                       Em                                       
I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying
                         C                     
'cause Daddy felt like a bumsee Daddy had a job
                            Em                               
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and Mom
                C                           
And at the time every house that we lived in
                                Em                                
Either kept gettin' broken into and robbed or shot up on the block
                 C                            
And your Mom was savin' money for you in a jar
                        Em                                     
Tryin' to start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
                      C                                         
Almost had a thousand dollars 'til someone broke in and stole it
                   Em                               
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your Mama's heart
                   C                                         
And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
                Em           
Mom and Dad was arguin' a lot
                                         C                        
So Mama moved back on to Chalmers in the flat onebedroom apartment
                          Em                                
And Dad moved back to the other side of eight Mile on Novara
                      C                             
And that's when Daddy went to California with his CD
               Em                                 
And met Dr Dre and flew you and Mama out to see me
                 C                                
But Daddy had to work you and Mama had to leave me
                        Em             
Then you started seein' Daddy on the TV
    Em                 
And Mama didn't like it
    C                                             
And you and Lainie were too young to understand it
           Em                                  
Papa was a rolling stone Mama developed a habit
           C                                                
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
               Em                                            
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it firsthand
                  C                                   
'cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
                Em                                  
Now I'm sittin' in this empty house just reminiscin'
                C                                 
Lookin' at your baby pictures it just trips me out
                              Em                                       
To see how much you both have grown it's almost like you're sisters now
C                                                   
Wow guess you pretty much are and Daddy's still here
           Em                                   
Lainie I'm talkin' to you too Daddy's still here
           C                                                
I like the sound of that yeah it's got a ring to it don't it
Em                                 
Shh Mama's only gone for the moment


[Chorus]
                C                 
Now hush little baby don't you cry
                   Em        
Everything's gonna be alright
                                 C             
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told ya
                        Em               
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
                              C                        
I know Mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
               Em         
We feel how we feel inside
                           C          
It may seem a little crazy pretty baby
                             Em     
But I promise Mama's gon' be alright
                                   C                    
And if you ask me to Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
          Em           
I'ma give you the world
                                C                
I'ma buy a diamond ring for you I'ma sing for you
                            Em           
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
                              C                             
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
                Em           
I'ma break that birdie's neck
                                C            
I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
                                        C       
And make him eat every carat don't fuck with Dad
