Selection chords: Katie Paterson

 B                         C#
Have you ever loved someone so much, youʼd give an arm for?
  D#m
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?
               B                              C#
When they know theyʼre your heart And you know
you were their armour
              D#m
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm ʼher
 B                         C#
But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you
   D#m
And everything you stand for, turns on you, to spite you?
               B
What happens when you become the main source of a pain?
              D#m                            C#
"Daddy look what I made," dadʼs gotta go catch a plane
 B                         C#
"Daddy whereʼs mommy? I canʼt find mommy, where is she?"
   D#m
I donʼt know, go play Hailie, baby, your daddyʼs busy
               B                             C#
Daddyʼs writing this song, this song ainʼt gonʼ write itself
              D#m
Iʼll give you one underdog, and you gotta swing by yourself

 B                         C#
Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her
   D#m
And put hands on her mother, whoʼs a spitting image of her
               B
Thatʼs Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shadyʼs crazy
    D#m                                    C#
Shady made me, but tonight Shadyʼs rocka-by-baby
 B                         C#
And when Iʼm gone, just carry on, donʼt mourn
   D#m
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
               B                              C#
Just know that Iʼm looking down on you smiling
              D#m
And I didnʼt feel a thing, So baby donʼt feel my pain

Just smile back
 B                         C#
And when Iʼm gone, just carry on, donʼt mourn
   D#m
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
               B
Just know that Iʼm looking down on you smiling
              D#m                                    C#
And I didnʼt feel a thing, So baby donʼt feel no pain

Just smile back…
 B                         C#
And when Iʼm gone, just carry on, donʼt mourn
   D#m
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
               B                              C#
Just know that Iʼm looking down on you smiling
              D#m
And I didnʼt feel a thing, So baby donʼt feel my pain

Just smile back

 B                         C#
I keep having this dream, Iʼm pushinʼ Hailie on a swing
   D#m
She keeps screaming, she donʼt want me to sing
               B
"Youʼre making mommy cry Why? Why is mommy crying?

     D#m                                    C#
Baby, daddy ainʼt leaving no more, "Daddy youʼre lying
 B                         C#
"You always say that, you always say this is the last time
   D#m
But you ainʼt leaving no more, daddy, youʼre mine"
         B                              C#
Sheʼs piling boxes in front of the door, trying to block it
              D#m
"Daddy please, daddy donʼt leave, daddy, no stop it!"

 B                         C#
Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
   D#m
Itʼs got a picture, "Thisʼll keep you safe daddy, take it witchaʼ"
      B
I look up, itʼs just me standing in the mirror
         D#m                                    C#
These f*****gʼ walls must be talking, cuz man I can hear ʼem
 B                         C#
Theyʼre saying, "You got one more chance to do right
   D#m
And itʼs tonight, now go out there And show em
that you love ʼem fore itʼs too late
                 B                              C#
And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
Itʼs turns to a stage,
              D#m
theyʼre gone, and this spotlight is on

And Iʼm singing

  B                         C#
And when Iʼm gone, just carry on, donʼt mourn
   D#m
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
               B
Just know that Iʼm looking down on you smiling
              D#m                                    C#
And I didnʼt feel a thing, So baby donʼt feel no pain

Just smile back…
  B                         C#
And when Iʼm gone, just carry on, donʼt mourn
   D#m
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that Iʼm looking down on you smiling
              D#m                                    C#
And I didnʼt feel a thing, So baby donʼt feel no pain

Just smile back…
