Selection chords: Katie Paterson

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

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

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

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

Just smile back

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

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

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

And Iʼm singing

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

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

Just smile back…
