[Intro]
N.C.
Yeah, it's my life
In my own words, I guess
[Verse 1]
Em C
Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
G D
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for
Em C
When they know they're your heart and you know you were their armor
G D
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her
Em C
But what happens when karma turns right around to bite you?
G D
And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you?
Em C
What happens when you become the main source of her pain?
G D
"Daddy, look what I made!" "Dad's gotta go catch a plane"
Em C
"Daddy, where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy, where is she?"
G D
"I don't know, go play, Hailie, baby, your daddy's busy
Em C
Daddy's writin' a song, this song ain't gon' write itself
G D
I'll give you one underdog, then you gotta swing by yourself"
Em C
Then turn right around on that song and tell her you love her
G D
And put hands on her mother who's a spitting image of her
Em C
That's Slim Shady, yeah, baby, Slim Shady's crazy
G D
Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rock-a-bye baby
[Chorus]
Em C G
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn, rejoice
D
Every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
Em C G
I'm lookin' down on you smilin' and I didn't feel a thang
D
So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
Em C G
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn, rejoice
D
Every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
Em c G
I'm lookin' down on you smilin' and I didn't feel a thang
D
So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
[Verse 2]
Em C
I keep havin' this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing
G D
She keeps screamin' she don't want me to sing
Em C
"You're makin' Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy cryin'?"
G D
"Baby, Daddy ain't leavin' no more" "Daddy, you're lyin'!
Em C
You always say that, you always say this is the last time
G D
But you ain't leavin' no more, Daddy, you're mine!"
Em C
She's pilin' boxes in front of the door, tryna block it
G D
"Daddy, please! Daddy, don't leave! Daddy, no, stop it!"
Em C
Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
G D
It's got a picture, "This'll keep you safe, Daddy, take it with ya!"
Em C
I look up, it's just me standin' in the mirror
G D
These f**kin' walls must be talkin', 'cause man, I can hear 'em
Em C
They're sayin', "You got one more chance to do right and it's tonight
G D
Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em 'fore it's too late!"
Em C
And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
G D
It turns to a stage, they're gone and this spotlight is on and I'm singin'
[Chorus]
Em C G
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn, rejoice
D
Every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
Em C G
I'm lookin' down on you smilin' and I didn't feel a thang
D
So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
Em C G
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn, rejoice
D
Every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
Em C G
I'm lookin' down on you smilin' and I didn't feel a thang
D
So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
[Verse 3]
Em C
Sixty-thousand people all jumpin' out their seat
G D
The curtain closes, they're throwin' roses at my feet
Em C
I take a bow, and thank you all for comin' out
G D
They're screamin' so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
Em C
I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seein'
G D
"Daddy, it's me! Help Mommy, her wrists are bleedin'!"
Em C
But baby, we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?
G D
"I followed you, Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'
Em C
You lied to me, Dad, and now you made Mommy sad
G D
And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'
Em C
That's all I wanted, I just wanted to give you this coin
G D
I get the point, fine, me and Mommy are goin'."
Em C
But baby, wait! "It's too late, Dad, you made the choice
G D
Now go up there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us
Em C
That's what they want, they want you, Marshall, they keep
G D
Screamin' your name, it's no wonder you can't go to sleep
Em C
Just take another pill, yeah, I bet you you will
G D
You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real."
Em C
I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
G D
How could it be that the curtain is closin' on me?
Em C
I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
G D
Put it to my brain, scream, "Die, Shady!" and pop it
Em C
The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was
G D
Supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
Em C
That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'
G D
It's spring and Hailie's outside swingin'
Em C
I walk right up to Kim and kiss her, tell her I miss her
G D
Hailie just smiles, and winks at her little sister, almost as if to say
[Chorus]
Em C G
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn, rejoice
D
Every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
Em C G
I'm lookin' down on you smilin' and I didn't feel a thang
D
So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
Em C G
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn, rejoice
D
Every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that
Em C G
I'm lookin' down on you smilin' and I didn't feel a thang
D
So, baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back
[Outro]
