Chord That's My Job by Brandon Davis

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?"

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"
