Who I Do It For

Intro 
G     C  Am 


[Verso 1]


G 
Waking up at 5 a.m. after being up all night again 
        C                             G 
Kissing on their foreheads while they sleep 

Sneaking past floorboards that creak 
                             C 
I slowly close the door that squeaks 
                                     G 
To leave the one place I don't wanna leave 
            Em   D  G     C 
I hope they know oh oh oh oh 
            G 
Who I do it for 


[Verso 2]


G 
First words I didn't hear 

Regrets I can't make disappear 
    C                                 G 
Goodnight phone calls, whisper in the dark 

There's no way I can explain 

The reasons that I just can't stay 
  C                                     G 
I never thought this life would be this hard 



[Refrão]

C    G 
So tonight, I pray 
                     C 
Someday they'll understand 
              G 
That all this time away 
    C                            D 
I'm doing all I can to give them everything 
                           C 
Everything I never had and more 

I hope they know oh oh 
            G 
Who I do it for 

G 


[Verso 3]


G 
The backyard grass beneath their feet 

A safe place they can fall asleep 
        C                           G 
They'll never have to worry what it costs 

Yeah, and it's my job to provide for them 

To build a better life for them 
      C                                   G 
But I know it's hard to see that when I'm gone 



[Refrão]

    C    G 
Oh! So tonight, I pray 
                     C 
Someday they'll understand 
              G 
That all this time away 
    C                            D 
I'm doing all I can to give them everything 
                           C 
Everything I never had and more 

I hope they know oh oh 
                    Em  D  G     C 
They're who I do it for oh oh oh oh 
                    Em  D  G     C 
They're who I do it for oh oh oh oh 



[Refrão]

     G 
So tonight, I pray 
                     C 
One day they'll understand 
              G 
That all this time away 
    C                            D 
I'm doing all I can to give them everything 
                           C 
Everything I never had and more 

I hope they know oh oh 
                    G 
They're who I do it for 


Outro 

G 
Who I do it, who I do it, who I do it for 
            C 
Who I do it for 
                                           G 
Who I do it, who I do it, who I do it for
