Thats My Job
Conway Twitty
G
(início)
G Em C D G I woke up crying late at night when I was very young C G Am D I had dreamed my father had passed away and gone G Em C D G My world revolved around him, I couldn't lie there anymore C G Am D G So I made my way down the mirrored hall and tapped upon his door C G Am G And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid, how will I go on with you gone that way? C G Am D Don't wanna cry anymore so may I stay with you?"
Chorus
C D G C D G C D And he said, "That's my job, that's what I do. Everything I do is G D C D Em C D G because of you, to keep you safe with me. That's my job you see."
Verse 2
G Em C D G Later we barely got along, this teenage boy and he C G Am D Most of the fights it seems were over different dreams we each held for me G Em C D G He wanted knowledge and learning, I wanted to fly out West C G Said, "I could make it out there if I just had the fare. Am D G I got half, will you loan me the rest." C G Am G And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid. There's no guarantee in the plans C G Am I've made. And if I should fail, who will pay my way back home?"
Chorus
C D G C D G C D And he said, "That's my job, that's what I do. Everything I do is G D C D Em C D G because of you, to keep you safe with me. That's my job you see."
Bridge
Em D C D G Every person carves his spot and fills the hole with light C E C Am D And I pray someday I might light as bright as he
Verse 3
G Em C D G Woke up early one bright fall day, to spread the tragic news C G Am D After all my travels I settled down within a mile or two G Em C D G I make my living with words and rhyme and all this tragedy C G Am D G Should go into my head and out instead as bits of poetry
Chorus
C G Am G But I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid, how will I go on with you gone this way? C G Am D How can I come up with a song to say I love you.......?" C D G C D G C D "That's my job, that's what I do. Everything I do is G C D Em C D G because of you, to keep you safe with me. That's my job you see."
