F
Cold bench on a platform
Dm
Last train on the Northern Line
C              A#
I'm trying to keep you out my mind
F
Too drunk for a drawbridge
Dm
Your name floods when my eyes are shut
C
We found love
            A#
You gave it all and gave it up

C
I don't do it often
Dm
But when no one's watching
C                A#
No one's watching

Chorus:
A#
I'm thinking 'bout
F
Late nights in the old arcade
        Dm
Drinking cheap wine as Elvis played, singing
C
"You were always on my mind"
A#
I was yours and you were mine
F
Breakfast on your sofa bed, thinking
Dm
Oh God, I'm in over my head
C
You were always on my mind
A#
You're always on my mind

I've got no right to miss you
All I did was kiss and fly
Each time I stayed another night
I was scared to throw my heart off the edge
Easier to tell myself we'd mess it up instead
So I left
But it plays round in my head

I don't do this often
But when no one's watching
No one's watching
I'm thinking 'bout

Chorus

 F             Dm
You're always, always, always on my mind
 C              A#
You're always, always, always on my mind

F              Dm
In my mind, I hear it and I know nothing's changed
C                      A#
In my mind, we share earphones on a midnight train
F                    Dm
And I've tried, you moved on and I moved
a little too
C                      A#
And I still wish things were different, don't you?

Chorus

(Mind, mind, mind)
You were always, always, always on my mind
(Mind, mind, mind)
You were always, always, always on my mind
(Mind, mind, mind)
You were always, always, always on my mind
(Mind, mind, mind)
You were always on my mind
