          C                   F/C
Daddy, I'm afraid, won't you stay a little while?

        Am                                  G
Keep me safe 'cause there's monsters right outside

                    C            F/C
Daddy, please don't go, I don't wanna be alone

         Am                                    G
And the second that you're gone they're gonna know

         Am               G             F/C
Before he went to bed he grabbed my hand and said

[Chorus]

               C
Just 'cause I'm leavin'

        F/C                Am               G
It don't mean that I won't be right by your side

         C
When you need me

         F/C                Am            G
And you can't see me in the middle of the night

               C                F/C
Just close your eyes and say a prayer

       Am                 G                   C
It's okay, I know you're scared when I'm not here

         F/C              G
But I'll always be right there

                F/C                G           C F/C Am G
Even though I'm leavin', I ain't goin' nowhere

[Verse 2]

Dad, we'll be late, and Uncle Sam don't like to wait

             Am                                     G
He's got a big old plane that's gonna take me far away

               C                    F/C
I know I act tough, but there's a churnin' in my gut

      Am                                        G
And I just can't call you up when things get rough

         Am                  G   F/C
Before I left, he hugged my neck and said

[Chorus]

               C
Just 'cause I'm leavin'

        F/C                Am               G
It don't mean that I won't be right by your side

         C

And you can't see me in the middle of the night

Daddy, I'm afraid, won't you stay a little while?

         Am                                    G
I never thought I'd see the day I had to say goodbye

                   C             F/C
Daddy, please don't go, I can't do this on my own

           Am                              G
There's no way that I can walk this road alone

      Am         G        F/C
Daddy grabbed my hand and said

[Chorus]

             C
Just 'cause I'm leavin'

It don't mean that I won't be right by your side

         C
When you need me

         F/C                  Am            G
And you can't see me in the middle of the night

                C                F/C
Just close your eyes and say a prayer

       Am                 G
It's okay, boy, I ain't scared

            C              F/C              G
I won't be here, but I'll always be right there
