C
It's a sad affair
C7
When there's no one there
F             C
He calls out in the night

And it's so unfair
C7                         F
 At least it seems that way
                     C
When you gave him his life

   A#
And all this time he's been getting you down
                  F
You ought to pick him up when there's no one around
        A#
And convince him
         F
Oh just talk to him
           A#
Cause he knows in his heart you won't be home soon
          F
And he's an only child in an only room
        A#
And he's dependent on you
      F
Oh he's dependent on you

C                        C7
 And it seems so strange
                          F     
That at the end of the day
C                          C7
 Making love can be so good
                     C7
But the pain of birth
                   F
Oh what is it worth

When it don't turn out the way that it should

   A#
And all this time he's been getting you down
                  F
You ought to pick him up when there's no one around
        A#
And convince him
         F
Oh just talk to him
           A#
Cause he knows in his heart you won't be home soon
          F
And he's an only child in an only room
        A#
And he's dependent on you
      F
Oh he's dependent on you

A#              F
Suffer, suffer the children
A#                     F
Suffer, suffer the children
A#                      F
Suffer, suffer the children
