[Em]Daddy why did you [D]do that to mommy?
You [Em]said if we hit somebody
we're [D]suppose to say [G]sorry
[Em]But you never say [D]sorry
daddy you yell now
[Em]Why did you tell that man that
[D]mommy just fell down
[Em]Mommy didn't fall down[D] daddy's lying
[Em]Mommy why are you alwa[D]ys sad
and always [G]crying?
[Em]Daddy why are you always
[D]mad you always fighting?
[Em]Why do you always say I'm bad
[D]even when I'm [G]trying?[Em]
No I don't want [D]to go to my room
[Em]I don't want to go to bed now[D]
I want to be with [Em]you
I don't want to daddy [D]it's to early
[Em]I didn't mean it daddy

CHORUS
[D]Where?where were you?
just when [Em]I needed you
[D]Daddy where [Em]were you[D]
Where?where were you?just when
I [Em]needed you
[D]Mommy where were
[Em]you[D]
(golden child)
What up [Em]pops I ain't got to tell [D]you
my heart is as hard as a [Em]rock
Things have changed since
I was the age [G]six
Yet some [Em]situations stay the same
[D]Like the way I concea[Em]l my pain
Growing [D]up I'd swear my name [Em]was
every profane thing [D]a man could say
I [Em]used to make excuses like you [D]wer
en't the one that [G]hit her
[Em]It was just the liquor in ya
[D]My dad the perfect exa[Em]mple
of hatred [D]an d why am I so bitter?
Ya [Em]told me real men don't
[D]cry that was a lie
You don't [Em]realize what goes
on in[D]side of my mind
[Em]As time passed my heart
[D]ran cold my emotions froze
[Em]Lost track of the brui[D]ses
and the broken bones
[Em]Just once wanted to hear[D]
that you loved me
[Em]Wrap your arms around me and hug
[D]me yeah [Em]right
Remember the first time I
[D]couldnt feel the pain
It was [Em]when grandma came
and [D]took me to church
Where [Em]God relieved the hurt and
he [D]knows it took work
But I for[Em]gave you he could save
[D]you but the [Em]question is
Will you let him in it would
[D]be such a blessing
To see [Em]you as a changed man and [D]holdin my mother's [Em]hand[D]
