C majorC      A minorAm
Emily comes home from school
FF        G+G
Grabs on to her daddy's hand
C majorC         A minorAm
He says baby girl what's wrong with you
FF               G+G
She says, please don't make me go back there again
C majorC             A minorAm             G+G
She says I wish there was some way to make them stop it
C majorC             A minorAm       G+G FF
So he drives down to that principals office

C majorC
He says I didn't bring her up
A minorAm
So they could cut her down
G+G
I didn't bring her here
FF
So they could shut her out
C majorC
I live my whole damn life
A minorAm
To see that little girl smile
G+G        FF            G+G
So why are tears pouring down that sweet face?
              C majorC
She wasn't brought up that way

C majorC      A minorAm
Emily's home late again
FF        G+G
He sees that boy drive away
C majorC            A minorAm
But somethings different this time
FF           G+G
She hasn't got much to say
C majorC         A minorAm       FF          G+G
She said he tried but there just some things I won't do
C majorC        A minorAm       FF           G+G
And through the tears she says I couldn't do that to you

C majorC
and he says,
C majorC
I didn't bring you up
A minorAm
So he could wear you down
G+G
Take that innocent heart
FF
And turn it inside out
C majorC             A minorAm
I live my whole damn life to see my little girl smile
G+G          FF
So don't let nobody take that away
G+G              C majorC
You weren't brought up that way

C majorC          A minorAm
The phone rings on a rainy night
FF         G+G
Says it's officer Tate
C majorC              A minorAm
He said, sir there's been an accident
FF        G+G
You better come down here right away
C majorC        A minorAm
A augmentedA drunken driver missed an over-pass
FF     G+G
And Emily, she's fading fast

C majorC
He says,
C majorC
God I didn't bring her up
A minorAm
So I could watch them lay her Down
G+G            FF
Nearly killed me the day they put her mama in the ground
C majorC                 A minorAm
The only thing that kept me alive was that little girl's smile
G+G     FF
So please don't take that away
G+G        C majorC   A minorAm G+G
It won't be easy taking her today
              C majorC
She wasn't brought up that way

C majorC
he stands over the hospital bed
FF          G+G  C majorC
and Emily opens her eyes
