[Intro]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
C D/F# G
[Verse]
C EmI woke up crying late at night
C D/F# GWhen I was very young
C GI had dreamed my father
Am7 DHad passed away and gone
G EmMy world revolved around him
C D/F# GI couldn't lie there any-more
C GSo I made my way down the mirrored hall
Am7 D/F# GAnd tapped upon his door
[Pre-Chorus]
C GAnd I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid
Am7 GHow will I Go on with you gone that way?
CDon't wanna cry anymore
G Am7 DSo may I stay with you?"
[Chorus]
C D/F#GAnd he said "That's my job
C D/F# G That's what I do
C D/F# G CAnd everything I Do is because of you
D Em7 EmTo keep you safe with me
C D/F# GThat's my job you see"
[Verse]
G EmLater we barely got along
C D/F# GThis teenage boy and he
CMost of the fights it seems
GWere over different dreams
Am7 DWe each held for me
G EmHe wanted knowledge and learning
C D/F# GAnd I wanted to fly out west
CSaid, "I could make it out there
GIf I just had the fare
Am7 D/F# GI got half, will you loan me the rest?"
[Pre-Chorus]
C GAnd I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid
Am7 GThere's no guarantee in the plans I made
CAnd if I should fail
G Am7 DWho'll pay my way back home?
[Chorus]
C D/F#GAnd he said "That's my job
C D/F# G That's what I do
C D/F# G CAnd everything I Do is because of you
D EmTo keep you safe with me
C D/F# GThat's my job you see"
[Break]
Em Bm Every person carves his spot
C D/F# GAnd fills the hole with light
C E7And I pray someday I might
Am DLight as bright as he
[Verse]
G Em Woke up early one bright fall day
C D/F# GTo spread the tragic news
C GAfter all of my travels, I settled down
Am7 DWithin a mile or two
G EmI make my living with words and rhyme
C D/F# GAnd all this tra-ge-dy
C GShould Go into my head and out instead
Am7 D/F# GAs bits of poe-try
[Pre-Chorus]
C GBut I say "Daddy, I'm so afraid
Am GHow will I Go on with you gone this way?
C G Am DHow can I come up with a song to say I love you?"
[Chorus]
C D/F# G "That's my job
C D/F# G That's what I do
C D/F# G CAnd everything I Do is because of you
D EmTo keep you safe with me
C D/F# GThat's my job you see"
[Outro]
C D/F# G CAnd everything I Do is because of you
D EmTo keep you safe with me
C D/F# GThat's my job you see"
