INTRO: GCGC

[G]I woke up crying [C]late at night
[G]when I was very [C]young.
[G]I had dreamed my [C]father
[G]had passed away and [D]gone.

[G]My world revolved [C]around him
I c[G]ouldnt lay there any[C]more.
[G]So I made my way down the [C]mirrored hall
[G]and tapped [D]upon his [G]door.

[CHORUS]
And I said &[Bm]quot;Daddy,[G] I'm so afraid
how will [Bm]I go on with you [G]gone that way'
Don't wanna [Bm]cry anymore
so [G]may I stay with [Am]you'&q[D]uot;
And he said &[G]quot;Th[D]at'[G]s my job,
that's [D]what I [G]do.
[C]Everything I [D]do is [G]because of [C]you,
[G]To keep you [D]safe with [Bm]me.
[G]That's my [C]job you [G]see."

[G]Later we barely got [C]along
[G]this teenage boy and [C]he.
Most of the [G]fights it seems
were over [C]different dreams,
[G]we each held for [D]me.
[G]He wanted knowledge and [C]learning.
[G]I wanted to fly out [C]west.
Said, "I c[G]ould make it out there
if I [C]just had the fare.
[G]I got half, will you [D]loan me the [G]rest'"

[CHORUS]
And I said &[Bm]quot;Daddy,[G] I'm so afraid,
there's no [Bm]guarantee in the [G]plans
I've made and if [Bm]I should fail,
[G]who will pay my way back [Am]home'&[D]quot;

And he said [G]"Th[D]at'[G]s my job
that's [D]what I [G]do.
[C]Everything I [D]do is [G]because of [C]you
[G]to keep you [D]safe with [Bm]me.
[G]That's my [C]job you [G]see."

[BRIDGE]
[Em]Every person [D]carves his spot
and [C]fills the [D]hole with [G]light.
And I [C]pray som[D]eday I [G]might
light as [C]bright as [D]he.

[G]Woke up early one [C]bright fall day
[G]to spread the tragic [C]news.
After [G]all my travel, [C]I settled down
[G]within a mile or [D]two.

[G]I make my living with [C]words and rhyme
[G]and all this trage[D]dy
[G]Should go into my head and [C]out instead
[D]as bits of poe[G]try.

[CHORUS]
But I say &[Bm]quot;Daddy,[G] I'm so afraid,
how will [Bm]I go on with you [G]gone this way'
[G]How can I come up with a [D]song to say
I [C]love you'&[D]quot;
[G]That's [D]my [G]job, [D]That's what I [G]do
[C]Everything I [D]do is [G]because of [C]you
[G]to keep you [D]safe with [Bm]me.
[G]That's my [C]job you [G]see.
[C]Everything I [D]do is [G]because of [C]you
[G]to keep you [D]safe with [Bm]me. GCG
