Capo 2 fret
GI woke up crying Emlate at nighCt wDhen I was very Gyoung
CI had dreamed my BmfatheAmr had passed away Dand Ggone
GMy world revolved Emaround him, I couldn't Clie there DanymoGre
CSo I made my way down the Gmirrored hall and Amtapped Dupon his Gdoor
And I said, "DCaddy, I'm Gso afraid, how will AmI go on with you Ggone that way?
Don't wanna Ccry anymore Gso may I stay with Amyou?" D
Chorus
And he said, "CThat's Dmy Gjob,C that's Dwhat I Gdo. CEverything I Ddo is
Gbecause of Cyou, to keep you Dsafe with Emme. CThat's my Djob you Gsee."
GLater we barely gotEm along, thisC teenage Dboy and Ghe
Most of the Cfights it seems were over Gdifferent dreams Amwe each held for Dme
GHe wanted knowledge and Emlearning, I Cwanted to fDly out WeGst
Said, "I could Cmake it out there ifG I just had the fare.
I got hAmalf, will you lDoan me the reGst."
And I said, "DaCddy, I'm Gso afraid. There's Amno guarentee in the Gplans
I've made. And if CI should fail, who will Gpay my way back hAmome?".
Chorus
And he said, "TChat's Dmy jGob, Cthat's wDhat I doG. ECverything ID do is
Gbecause of Cyou, to keep you Dsafe with Emme. CThat's my Djob you Gsee."
Em Every person Dcarves his spot and Cfills the Dhole with Glight
And I Cpray someday I Emmight light as Cbright Amas hDe
GWoke up early one Embright fall day,C to spread the Dtragic Gnews
After alCl my travelsG I settled downAm within a mile or Dtwo
G I make my living with Emwords and rhymeC and all this DtragedyG
Should go Cinto my head and Gout insteadAm as bits of DpoetrGy
But I said, "CDaddy, I'm Gso afraid, how will AmI go on with you Ggone this
way?
How can CI come up with a Gsong to say I Amlove you.......D?"
C"That's Dmy GjobC, that's Dwhat I Gdo. CEverything I Ddo is
Gbecause of yCou, to keep you sDafe with Emme. CThat's my Djob you Gsee."
CEverything I Ddo is Gbecause of Cyou, to keep you Dsafe with Emme....
