              D                G
Daddy, I'm afraid, won't you stay a little while?
         D                                     A
Keep me safe 'cause there's monsters right outside
                     D           G
Daddy, please don't go, I don't wanna be alone
            D
'Cause the second that you're gone they're gonna
  A
know
          Bm               A             G
Before he went to bed he grabbed my hand and said

Chorus:
                 D
Just 'cause I'm leavin'
          G                 Bm               A
It don't mean that I won't be right by your side
          D
When you need me
               G             Bm            A
And you can't see me in the middle of the night
                 D               G
Just close your eyes and say a prayer
       Bm                  A                  D
It's okay, I know you're scared when I'm not here
         G                 A
But I'll always be right there
                 G                A        D G Bm A
Even though I'm leavin', I ain't goin' nowhere

Dad, we'll be late, and Uncle Sam don't like to wait
He's got a big old plane that's gonna take me
far away
I know I act tough, but there's a churnin' in my gut
'Cause I just can't call you up when
things get rough
Before I left, he hugged my neck and said

Chorus:
Just 'cause you're leavin'
It don't mean that I won't be right by your side
When you need me
And you can't see me in the middle of the night
Just close your eyes and say a prayer
It's okay, I know you're scared I might be here
But I'll always be right there
Even though you're leavin', I ain't goin' nowhere

              D                G
Daddy, I'm afraid, won't you stay a little while?
          D                                   A
I never thought I'd see the day I had to say goodbye
                     D           G
Daddy, please don't go, I can't do this on my own
            D                              A
There's no way that I can walk this road alone
       Bm         A        G
Daddy grabbed my hand and said

Chorus:
Just 'cause I'm leavin'
It don't mean that I won't be right by your side
When you need me
And you can't see me in the middle of the night
Just close your eyes and say a prayer
It's okay, boy, I ain't scared
I won't be here, but I'll always be right there
Even though I'm leavin', I ain't goin' nowhere
I ain't goin' nowhere
