[C] [G]
it's the color of the sun [D] caught [E] flat I'm covering the [A] crossroads I'm standing [G] at
Or maybe it's the weather [Em] or something [G] like that
[Em] But mommy [D] you've been on my [G] mind
I do not mean your trouble, don't put me down
Don't get [D] upset, I am [Em] not pleading
[A] Or saying I can't forget you
[G] I do not pace [D] the floor, I'm not [Em] back down in bed
But [G] yeah, [Am]
mommy you've [D] been on my [G] mind
Even though my eyes are hazy and my thoughts seem might [D] be narrow
Where [E] you've been don't bother me
[A] Or bring me down with sorrow
[G] I don't even [D] mind
Though [Em] you'll be waking well [G] tomorrow

[Em] I've no [A] place I'm calling you to go
I'm [G] just whistling to [D] myself
So I can [Em] pretend that I don't [G] know

When you wake up in the morning
Baby look inside [D] you, Mary
You know I [Em] won't be next to you
[A] No I won't be near
I'd [D] just be curious to know
If [Em] you can see yourself as [G] clear
[Em] As someone who has [D] had you on his [G] mind
