Brought Up That Way(Chords)

	        G 
Emily comes home from school 
                        G6 
Grabs on to her daddy's hand 
        G 
He says baby girl what's wrong with you 
                                  G6 
She says, please don't make me go back there again 
           C                                   C2 
She said I wish there was some way to make 'em stop it 
      C                                 G          D -once 
So he drives down to that principal's office, and says 

         G 
I didn't bring her up 
              G6 
So they could cut her down 
         C 
I didn't bring her here 
              C2 
So they could shut her out 
          G 
I live my whole damn life 
            G6 
To see that little girl smile 
           C                             C2 
So why are tears pouring down that sweet face? 
                          G 
She wasn't brought up that way 

G 
Emily's home late again 
                       G6 
He sees that boy drive away 
        G 
Oh, but something's different this time 
                     G6 
She doesn't have too much to say 
            C                                         C2 
She said he tried, but there just some things I won't do 
                C                                    G 
And through the tears she said I couldn't do that to you 
       D -once 
And he said, 

 G 
I didn't bring you up 
            G6 
So he could wear you down 
          C 
Take that innocent heart 
            C2 
And turn it inside out 
          G 
I live my whole damn life 
          G6 
To see my little girl smile 
         C                     G 
So don't let nobody take that away 
                            G6 
You weren't brought up that way

G 
The phone rings on a rainy night 
                  Cadd9 
Says it's Officer Tate 
         G 
He said, Sir there's been an accident 
                     Cadd9 
You better come down here right away 
  C                             C2 
A drunken driver missed an over-pass 
    C                   G             D 
And Emily, she's fading fast, he says God 

         G 
I didn't bring her up 
              G6 
To watch them lay her Down 
       C                              C2 
Nearly killed me the day they put her mama in the ground 
           G                      G6 
Only thing kept me alive was that little girl's smile 
   C                       G 
So please don't take that away 
            C               G 
It won't be easy taking her today 
                          G6 
She wasn't brought up that way 

G 
He stands over the hospital bed 
                C 
Emily opens her eyes
