INTRO: GCGC

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

G+G         C majorC
My world revolved around him
  G+G          C majorC
I couldnt lay there anymore.
G+G             C majorC
So I made my way down the mirrored hall
G+G     D MajorD    G+G
and tapped upon his door.

CHORUS
      B minorBm     G+G
And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid
     B minorBm        G+G
how will I go on with you gone that way?
      B minorBm
Don't wanna cry anymore
  G+G        A minorAm  D MajorD
so may I stay with you?"
       G+G   D MajorD G+G
And he said "That's my job,
    D MajorD   G+G
that's what I do.
C majorC      D MajorD   G+G     C majorC
Everything I do is because of you,
G+G      D MajorD     B minorBm
To keep you safe with me.
G+G     C majorC    G+G
That's my job you see."

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

CHORUS
      B minorBm     G+G
And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid,
      B minorBm        G+G
there's no guarantee in the plans
         B minorBm
I've made and if I should fail,
G+G            A minorAm  D MajorD
who will pay my way back home?"

      G+G    D MajorD G+G
And he said "That's my job
    D MajorD   G+G
that's what I do.
C majorC      D MajorD   G+G     C majorC
Everything I do is because of you
G+G      D MajorD     B minorBm
to keep you safe with me.
G+G     C majorC    G+G
That's my job you see."

BRIDGE
E minorEm      D MajorD
Every person carves his spot
  C majorC     D MajorD     G+G
and fills the hole with light.
   C majorC    D MajorD   G+G
And I pray someday I might
     C majorC     D MajorD
light as bright as he.

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

G+G           C majorC
I make my living with words and rhyme
G+G         D MajorD
and all this tragedy
G+G             C majorC
Should go into my head and out instead
D MajorD       G+G
as bits of poetry.

CHORUS
      B minorBm     G+G
But I say "Daddy, I'm so afraid,
     B minorBm        G+G
how will I go on with you gone this way?
G+G            D MajorD
How can I come up with a song to say
 C majorC     D MajorD
I love you?"
G+G   D MajorD G+G  D MajorD       G+G
That's my job, That's what I do
C majorC      D MajorD   G+G     C majorC
Everything I do is because of you
G+G      D MajorD     B minorBm
to keep you safe with me.
G+G     C majorC    G+G
That's my job you see.
C majorC      D MajorD   G+G     C majorC
Everything I do is because of you
G+G      D MajorD     B minorBm
to keep you safe with me. GCG
