Brought Up That Way chords

[D]Emily comes home from school
Grabs on to her daddy's [A]hand
He says [Em]baby girl what's wrong with you
She says, please don't make me go [G]back there again
She said I [D]wish there was some way to make 'em [A]stop it
[Em] [G] [G] -once
So he drives down to that principals office, and says

I didn't [D]bring her up
So they could [A]cut her down
I didn't [Em]bring her here
So they could [G]shut her out
I live my [D]whole damn life
To see that [A]little girl smile
So why are [Em]tears pouring down that sweet [G]face?
- [G]
She wasn't brought up that way

[D]Emily's home late again
He sees that boy drive [A]away
Oh, but [Em]somethings different this time
She doesn't have too [G]much to say
She said he [D]tried, but there just some things I won't [A]do
And through the [Em]tears she said I couldn't do that to [G]you
[G] -once
And he said,

I[D] didn't bring you up
So he could [A]wear you down
Take that [Em]innocent heart
And turn it [G]inside out
I live my [D]whole damn life
To see my [A]little girl smile
So don't [Em]let nobody take that a[G]way
You weren't brought up that [G]way

[D]The phone rings on a rainy night
Says it's Officer [A]Tate
He said, [Em]Sir there's been an accident
You better come down [G]here right away
A [D]drunken driver missed an over-[A]pass
[Em] [G] [G] -once
And Emily, she's fading fast, he says God

I didn't [D]bring her up
To watch them [A]lay her Down
Nearly [Em]killed me the day they put her [G]mama in the ground
Only thing [D]kept me alive was that [A]little girl's smile
So [Em]please don't take that a[G]way
It won't be [D]easy taking her [G]today
- [G]
She wasn't brought up that way

[D]He stands over the hospital bed
[A]Emily opens her[Em] eyes
