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

[Verse 3]
               G
Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow,
          Em                       A
Where you been don't bother me nor bring me down in sorrow.
G                               C           G
It don't even matter who you're 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                 A
Please understand me, I 'm not calling for you to go.
         G                               C                G
I'm just breathing to myself, 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                           A
Oh you know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near.
            G                          C               G
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
   D                              G    C D
As someone who has had you on her mind.
                                  G
As someone who has had you on her mind
