[Verse 1]
C Dm
The love between the two of us was dying
C Dm
And it got so bad I knew I had to leave
C F D7
But halfway down that highway when I turned around I saw
C Dm G7 C
My little daughter running after me
Dm G7 C
Cry-ing daddy don't you walk so fast
F
Daddy don't you walk so fast
C E7 Am D7
Daddy slow down some cause you're makin' me run
C G7 C
Daddy don't you walk so fast
[Verse]
Dm

C Dm

C F D7

C Dm G7 C
I turned around and there she was again
G7 C
And she said daddy don't you walk so fast
F
My darling cried daddy don't you walk so fast
C E7 Am D7
Daddy slow down some cause you're makin' me run
C G7 C
Daddy don't you walk so fast
Dm
If only for the sake of my sweet daughter
C Dm
I just had to turn back home right there and then
C F D7
And try to start a new life with the mother of my child
C F G7 C

F G7
She cried and said
