Whenever You're On My Mind by Marshall Crenshaw
Album: Field Day

    Corrections are always welcome!

The previous version (which didn't have contributor credits) was pretty close.
I just made a few corrections to the intro riff and I think they were F#m instead of F

A/G        D               F#m             G        A
I think about you and forget what I've tried to be
D             F#m       G       A
Everything is foggy and hard to see
G                   Em7          Dsus2/G
It seems to be, but can it be, a fantasy?
A/G               D                   F#m         G           A
Whenever I think about you, strangers eyes in the crowd flash past
D           F#m           G           A
I go on and think of the fate you've cast
G               Em7         Dsus2/G
It seems to be a reverie, you're here with me

CHORUS:
           A/G                     D  Em  G
'Cause whenever you're on my mind
    A                              D  Em  G
whenever you're on my mind
  A                                G  F#m E
I leave the world behind
    A                 D 
Whenever you're on my mind

(Riff)
         D               F#m             G        A
I think about you and I'm weak though I'm in my prime
D             F#m       G       A
Set my watch and still lose track of time
G                   Em7          Dsus2/G
It seems to be, but can it be, a fantasy?
A/G               D                   F#m         G           A
Whenever I think about you, strangers eyes in the crowd flash past
D           F#m           G           A
I go on and think of the fate you've cast
G               Em7         Dsus2/G
It seems to be a reverie, you're here with me

(repeat Chorus)

C                              D
I never thought I'd be in this situation
C                              D
It seems wherever I go I'm with you
B                              G
And though I never seem to find my place
Em                       A
At every turn I see your face.

It seems to be a reverie, you're here with me
           A/G                     D  Em  G
'Cause whenever you're on my mind
    A                              D  Em  G
whenever you're on my mind
  A                                G  F#m E
I leave the world behind

I leave the world behind
