#(verse 1)
[G]A mother riding on a [D/F#]city bus
[Em7]Kids are yelling kicking [D]up a fuss
[Cadd9]Everybody’s staring
Not k[C/B]nowing what she's going throug[D]h
[G]Somebody said don't you [D/F#]even care
And [Em7]do you let them do that e[D]verywhere
She[Cadd9] slowly turned[C/B]around, looked up and stare[D]d.
(pre-cho)
[Em7]She said, "Please forgive them[Cadd9]but they've been up all night"
[Em7]Their father struggled But he [Cadd9]finally lost his fight
[Em7]He went to heaven In the [Cadd9]middle of the night
So [Cadd9]please [C/B]for--g[Am]ive [G]my childr[D]en
They don’t understand."
(chorus)
[G]Everybody's busy with their[D/F#] own situation
[Em7]Everybody's lost in their o[D]wn little world
[Cadd9]Bottled up, hurried up, [C/B]trying to make a dream come t[D]rue
They don't understand
[G]Everybody's livin' like there [D/F#]ain't no tomorrow
[Em7]Maybe we should stop and take [D]a little time
[Cadd9]Cause you never really know w[C/B]hat your neighbor’s going th[D]rough
They don't understand.
(verse 2)
A man drivin on the interstate,
slowin down traffic makin everybody late,
Everybody's starin' not knowin what he's goin through,
Sombody honked from the passin' lane,
yelled out the window ain't got all day,
The old man looked around and he caught his eye,
(pre- cho)
HE said please forgive me,
you know it's been a long life,
My wife has passed away and my kids don't have the time,
I've been left all alone and it's gettin' hard to drive,
So please forgive me children,
They don't understand.
