Hailie I KnGmow You Miss Your 
Mom And I KnoD#w You Miss Your Dad
Well I'm GFone But I'm Trying To 
Give You The LiGmfe That I Never Had
I Can SGmee You're Sad, Even When 
You SmiD#le, Even When You Laugh
FI Can See It In Your Eyes, 
DeGmep Inside You Want To Cry
CGmause You're Scared, I Ain't 
There? DaD#ddy's With You In Your Prayers
NFo More Crying, Wipe Them Tears, 
DaGmddy's Here, No More Nightmares
WGme Gon' Pull Together Through It,

Laney Uncles CrFazy, Ain't He? Yeah But 
He LoGmves You Girl And You Better Know It
WGme're All We Got In This World 
WheD#n It Spins, When It Swirls
WhFen It Whirls, When It TGmwirls, 
Two Little Beautiful Girls
LGmookin' Puzzled, In A Daze, 
I KnoD#w It's Confusing You
DFaddy's Always On The Move, 
MaGmma's Always On The News
I TrGmy To Keep You Sheltered From 
It BuD#t Somehow It Seems
The Harder ThFat I Try To Do That, 
The MoGmre It Backfires On Me
All The ThGmings Growing Up His 
Daddy ThaD#t He Had To See
Daddy DFon't Want You To See But 
You SeGme Just As Much As He Did
We Did NGmot Plan It To Be This Way, 
Your MoD#ther And Me
But Things Have GFotten So Bad Between Us 
I Don't SeGme Us Ever Being 
TogetherGm Ever Again
Like We D#Used To Be When 
We Were TeenagFers
But Then Of CGmourse Everything Always 
Happens For A ReasoGmn, I Guess 
It Was Never MeaD#nt To Be
But It's Just Something WFe Have 
No Control Over And ThaGmt's What Destiny Is
Gm But No More Worries, Rest 
 Your HeD#ad And Go To Sleep
Maybe FOne Day We'll Wake Up 
And This Will AGmll Just Be A Dream

EverythFing's Gonna Be AlGmright
Stiffen That Upper Lip GmUp Little 
Lady, I ToD#ld Ya

And We DoD#n't Know Why
We FFear How We Feel InGmside
It May Seem A Little CrGmazy, Pretty D#Baby
But I Promise MFomma's Gon' Be AlGmright


It's Funny
GmI Remember Back One Year 
When DaD#ddy Had No Money
Mommy WrFapped The Christmas Presents 
Up And StuGmck 'Em Under The Tree 
And Said SGmome Of 'Em Were From Me, 
Cause DaD#ddy Couldn't Buy 'Em
I'll NFever Forget That Christmas 
I SaGmt Up The Whole Night Crying
Cause Daddy FGmelt Like A Bum, 
See DaD#ddy Had A Job
But His JFob Was To Keep The 
FoGmod On The Table For You And Mom
And At The TGmime Every D#House That We Lived In
Either Kept Getting BrFoken Into 
And RoGmbbed Or Shot Up On The Block 
And Your MGmom Was Saving D#Money For You In A Jar
Tryna StFart A Piggy Bank For 
You So YoGmu Could Go To College
Almost HGmad A Thousand Dollars 
TiD#ll Someone Broke In And Stole It
And I KnFow It Hurt So Bad 
It BroGmke Your Momma's Heart
And It SGmeemed Like Everything 
Was Just StaD#rtin' To Fall Apart
MFom And Dad Was Arguin' 
A LoGmt So Momma Moved Back
On The ChGmalmers In The 
FlaD#t One Bedroom Apartment
And DFad Moved Back To The 
Other SiGmde Of 8 Mile On Novara
And ThGmat's When Daddy Went 
To CalifoD#rnia With His Cd 
And Met DFr  Dre And Flew 
YoGmu And Momma Out To See Me
But DGmaddy Had To Work, D#You And Momma Had To Leave Me
Then You StFarted Seeing 
Daddy OGmn The T V   
And Momma Didn't LGmike It And 
You And LaD#ney Were To Young To Understand It
PFapa Was A Rollin' Stone, 
MoGmmma Developed A Habit
And It GmAll Happened Too 
FaD#st For Either One Of Us To Grab It
FI'm Just Sorry You Were 
TheGmre And Had To Witness It First Hand
Cause GmAll I Ever Wanted 
To DoD# Was Just Make You Proud
NFow I'm Sitting In This 
GmEmpty House, Just Reminiscing
LGmookin' At Your Baby 
PictuD#res, It Just Trips Me Out
To See How MFuch You Both Have Grown, 
It's AGmlmost Like You're Sisters Now
Gm Wow, Guess You PD#retty Much 
 Are And Daddy's Still Here F​
Laney I'm Talkin' TGmo You Too, Daddy's Still Here
GmI Like The Sound Of That, D#Yeah, 
It's Got A Ring To It DoFn't It?
Shh, Momma's Only GGmone For The Moment

Now HGmush Little Baby, D#Don't You Cry
EverythFing's Gonna Be AlGmright
Stiffen That Upper Lip GmUp Little 
Lady, I ToD#ld Ya
Daddy's Here To HFold Ya 
Through The NGmight
I Know Mommy's Not HGmere Right 
Now And We DoD#n't Know Why
We FFear How We Feel InGmside
It May Seem A Little CrGmazy, 
Pretty BaD#by
But I Promise MFomma's 
Gon' Be AlriGmght
