G                                                      Am 
The love between the two of us was dying 
G                                                   Am 
And it got so bad I knew I had to leave 
G                                    Em          Am                            D 
But halfway down that highway when I turned around I saw 
G                               C             G 
My little daughter running after me 
D7 
Crying 
 

G 
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 
C 
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 
G                    D                   C                               D 
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run 
G                         D            G 
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 
 

G                                                               Am 
Now, it broke my heart to tell my little daughter 
G                                                           Am 
That her daddy had to run to catch a train 
G                                    Em          Am                            D 
She had no way of knowin' I was leavin' home for good 
G                               C                       G 
I turned around and there she was again 
                D7 
As she said to me 
 

G 
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 
C 
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 
G                    D                   C                               D 
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run 
G                         D            G 
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 
 

G                                                       Am 
If only for the sake of my sweet daughter 
G                                                                     Am 
I just had to turn back home right there and then 
G                                    Em          Am                            D 
And try to start a new life with the mother of my child 
G                               C                       G 
I couldn't bear to hear those words again 
                    D7 
She cried and said 
 

G 
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 

(My daughter cried) 
C 
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 
G                    D                   C                               D 
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run 
G                         D            G 
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 
 

G                    D                   C                               D 
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run 
G                         D            G 
Daddy, don't you walk so fast
