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