[Intro]
Dm      Bb      Bb  C  x2

[Verse 1]
Dm
I know that this shouldn’t be
              Bb         Dm
a traumatic event but it is
       C         Dm
And I feel   So bad
Dm
My little boy looks so happy,
he throws me his
 Gm          Dm
“Go, mummy” kiss
        C           Dm
And he loves   his dad

[Pre-Chorus]
       G         Dm
And I loved him too
      G        Dm
Maybe I still do
         G
But it’s over

[Chorus]
Dm
Keep an eye on Dan
  Bb
Promise me you can
Bb               C
He gets out the hand
        C
if you let him
    F      Am      Dm
So keep an eye on Dan
          (Keep an eye on Dan)
     Dm     Bb
And not forget
Bb               C
I’ll be back on Sunday to get him
    Bb     C       Dm
So keep an eye on Dan

[Verse 2]
Dm
Certain that I’m out of sight,
                 Bb           Dm
I pull over and turn off the car
       C           Dm
And I bang     a wheel
Dm
I can’t believe that
I’ve actually held
      Bb          Dm
it together this far
        C          Dm
Seeing how      I feel

[Pre-Chorus]
          G        Dm
But I’ve said goodbye
       G        Dm
And I read not cry
           G
Though my heart achеd

[Chorus]
Dm
Keep an eye on Dan
  Bb
Promise me you can
Bb               C
He gets out the hand
        C
if you let him
    F      Am      Dm
So keep an eye on Dan
(Keep an eye on Dan)
     Dm     Bb
And not forget
Bb               C
I’ll be back at seven
    C         Bb  C
on Sunday to get him
