THAT'S MY JOB
CAPO: 1st FRET
[Intro]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
C D/F# G
[Verse]
C Em
I woke up crying late at night
C D/F# G
When I was very young
C G
I had dreamed my father
Am7 D
Had passed away and gone
G Em
My world revolved around him
C D/F# G
I couldn't lie there any-more
C G
So I made my way down the mirrored hall
Am7 D/F# G
And tapped upon his door
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid
Am7 G
How will I go on with you gone that way?
C
Don't wanna cry anymore
G Am7 D
So may I stay with you?"
[Chorus]
C D/F# G
And he said "That's my job
C D/F# G
That's what I do
C D/F# G C
And everything I do is because of you
D Em7 Em
To keep you safe with me
C D/F# G
That's my job you see"
[Verse]
G Em
Later we barely got along
C D/F# G
This teenage boy and he
C
Most of the fights it seems
G
Were over different dreams
Am7 D
We each held for me
G Em
He wanted knowledge and learning
C D/F# G
And I wanted to fly out west
C
Said, "I could make it out there
G
If I just had the fare
Am7 D/F# G
I got half, will you loan me the rest?"
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid
Am7 G
There's no guarantee in the plans I made
C
And if I should fail
G Am7 D
Who'll pay my way back home?
[Chorus]
C D/F# G
And he said "That's my job
C D/F# G
That's what I do
C D/F# G C
And everything I do is because of you
D Em
To keep you safe with me
C D/F# G
That's my job you see"
[Break]
Em Bm
Every person carves his spot
C D/F# G
And fills the hole with light
C E7
And I pray someday I might
Am D
Light as bright as he
[Verse]
G Em
Woke up early one bright fall day
C D/F# G
To spread the tragic news
C G
After all of my travels, I settled down
Am7 D
Within a mile or two
G Em
I make my living with words and rhyme
C D/F# G
And all this tra-ge-dy
C G
Should go into my head and out instead
Am7 D/F# G
As bits of poe-try
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
But I say "Daddy, I'm so afraid
Am G
How will I go on with you gone this way?
C G Am D
How 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 C
And everything I do is because of you
D Em
To keep you safe with me
C D/F# G
That's my job you see"
[Outro]
C D/F# G C
And everything I do is because of you
D Em
To keep you safe with me
C D/F# G
That's my job you see"
