Suffer the Children
(Orzabal)
[G]It's a sad affair,
[G7]when there's no one there,
[C]He calls out in the [G]night.
And it's so unfair,
[G7]at least it seems that way,
[C]when you gave him his [G]life.
And [F]all this time he's been getting you down,
You ought to [C]pick him up when there's no one around,
And con[F]vince him,
Oh just [C]talk to him,
Cause he [F]knows in his heart you won't be home soon,
And he's[C] an only child in an only room
And he's [F]dependent on you
Oh he's d[C]ependent on you
And it seems so strange,
That at the end of the day,
Making love can be so good,
But the pain of birth,
Oh what is it worth,
When it don't turn out the way that it should
