C majorC            D MajorD
Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
 E minorEm
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?
       C majorC              D MajorD
When they know they're your heart And you know you were their armour
       E minorEm
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'her
C majorC            D MajorD
But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you
 E minorEm
And everything you stand for, turns on you, to spite you?
       C majorC
What happens when you become the main source of a pain?
       E minorEm             D MajorD
"Daddy look what I made," dad's gotta go catch a plane
C majorC            D MajorD
"Daddy where's mommy? I can't find mommy, where is she?"
 E minorEm
I don't know, go play Hailie, baby, your daddy's busy
       C majorC              D MajorD
Daddy's writing this song, this song ain't gon' write itself
       E minorEm
I'll give you one underdog, and you gotta swing by yourself

C majorC            D MajorD
Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her
 E minorEm
And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her
       C majorC
That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazy
  E minorEm                 D MajorD
Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby
C majorC            D MajorD
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
 E minorEm
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
       C majorC              D MajorD
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
       E minorEm
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel my pain

Just smile back
C majorC            D MajorD
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
 E minorEm
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
       C majorC
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
       E minorEm                 D MajorD
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain

Just smile back…
C majorC            D MajorD
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
 E minorEm
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
       C majorC              D MajorD
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
       E minorEm
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel my pain

Just smile back

C majorC            D MajorD
I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on a swing
 E minorEm
She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing
       C majorC
"You're making mommy cry Why? Why is mommy crying?

  E minorEm                 D MajorD
Baby, daddy ain't leaving no more, "Daddy you're lying
C majorC            D MajorD
"You always say that, you always say this is the last time
 E minorEm
But you ain't leaving no more, daddy, you're mine"
    C majorC              D MajorD
She's piling boxes in front of the door, trying to block it
       E minorEm
"Daddy please, daddy don't leave, daddy, no stop it!"

C majorC            D MajorD
Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
 E minorEm
It's got a picture, "This'll keep you safe daddy, take it witcha'"
   C majorC
I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror
    E minorEm                 D MajorD
These f*****g' walls must be talking, cuz man I can hear 'em
C majorC            D MajorD
They're saying, "You got one more chance to do right
 E minorEm
And it's tonight, now go out there And show em that you love 'em fore it's too late
        C majorC              D MajorD
And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door It's turns to a stage,
       E minorEm
they're gone, and this spotlight is on

And I'm singing
 C majorC            D MajorD
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
 E minorEm
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
       C majorC
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
       E minorEm                 D MajorD
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain

Just smile back…
 C majorC            D MajorD
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
 E minorEm
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
       C majorC
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
       E minorEm                 D MajorD
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain

Just smile back…
 C majorC            D MajorD
Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat
  E minorEm
The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet
        C majorC
I take a bow and thank you all for coming out
     E minorEm               D MajorD
They're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
 C majorC            D MajorD
I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing
  E minorEm
"Daddy it's me, help mommy, her wrists are bleeding"
        C majorC
But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden? "I followed you daddy, you
told me that you weren't leavin'
       E minorEm                 D MajorD
You lied to me dad, and now you made mommy sad And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'

 C majorC            D MajorD
"That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin
  E minorEm
I get the point, fine, me and mommy are goin'"
        C majorC
But baby wait, "It's too late dad, you made your choice
       E minorEm                D MajorD
Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us"
 C majorC            D MajorD
That's what they want, they want you Marshall
  E minorEm
They keep screamin' your name        C majorC
It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill
       E minorEm                 D MajorD
Yeah, I bet you you will, you rap about it Yeah, word, k-keep it real
 C majorC            D MajorD
I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
  E minorEm
How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me?
      C majorC
I turn around, find a gun on the ground and cock it
E minorEm                 D MajorD
Put it to my brain, scream, "Die Shady" and pop it
 C majorC            D MajorD
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
 E minorEm
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
       C majorC

       E minorEm                 D MajorD
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain

Just smile back…
 C majorC           D MajorD
The sky darkens, my life flashes
  E minorEm
The plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
       C majorC
That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'
 E minorEm           D MajorD
It's spring and Hailei's outside swinging
 C majorC            D MajorD
I walk right up to Kim and kiss her
  E minorEm
Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles
       C majorC
And winks at her little sister
      E minorEm
Almost as if to say

 C majorC            D MajorD
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
 E minorEm
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
       C majorC
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
       E minorEm                 D MajorD
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain

Just smile back…
 C majorC            D MajorD
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
 E minorEm
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
       C majorC
