INTRO: GCGC

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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