Daddy You Been On My Mind

G
Perhaps it's the colour of the sun 
cut flat
    Em           A
And covering the crossroads I'm 
standing at,
   G                        
Or maybe it's the weather or 
 C              G
something like that,
    D                     G   C D
But Daddy, you been on my mind.

[Verse 2]
G
 I don't mean trouble, please don't 
put me down, don't get upset,
         Em          A
I am not pleading or saying, "I 
can't forget you."
  G                           C
I do not walk the floor bowed down 
and bent,
    G    D                     G 
But yet, Daddy, you been on my 
Em C D
mind.

[Verse 3]
               G
Even though my mind is hazy and my 
thoughts they might be narrow,
          Em                       
Where you been don't bother me nor 
A
bring me down in sorrow.
G                             
It don't even matter who you're 
  C           G
waking with tomorrow,
D                        G    C D
Daddy, you're just on my mind.

[Verse 4]
G
 I am not asking you to say words 
like "yes" or "no,"
            Em                
Please understand me, I 'm not 
 A
calling for you to go.
         G                   
I'm just breathing to myself, 
            C                G
pretending not that I don't know,
     D                     G    C D
That Daddy, you been on my mind.

[Verse 5]
         G
When you wake up in the morning, 
baby, look inside your mirror.
       Em                          
Oh you know I won't be next to you,
 A
 you know I won't be near.
            G                      
I'd just be curious to know if you 
    C               G
can see yourself as clear
   D                              
As someone who has had you on her 
G    C D
mind.
