C7/B Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat I'm coverin'
The crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that C G C (sometimes G, sometimes riff) But mama you been on my mind
I don't mean trouble please don't put me down or get upset I am not pleading Or saying I can't forget you I do not pace the floor bow down and beg but yet Mama you been on my mind
Even though my eyes are hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow where you been don't bother me Or bring me down with sorrow I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow Mama you're just on my mind
I'm not asking you to say words like yes or no please understand me I have no place I'm calling you to go I'm just whisperin' to myself so I can't pretend that I don't know Mama you are on my mind
When you wake up in the morning baby look inside your mirror you know I won't be next to you You know I won't be near I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear As someone who has had you on his mind
