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                        D                     Em                  C  
But halfway down that highway when I turned around I saw  
      G                  C         D     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                           Em          C  
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                  D                 Em                  C  
She had no way of knowin' I was leavin' home for good  
  G                         C            D       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                          Em          C  
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               C  
And try to start a new life with the mother of my child  
  G                    C               D        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                          Em           C 
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run  
G                         D            G  
Daddy, don't you walk so fast  
  
            G             D                          Em            C   
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run  
G                         D            G  
Daddy, don't you walk so fast
