CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
Wake up and check the mail, hoping to find a letter from you
But Call I find are missing Gchildren
Turn on the morning news, hoping to see a resemblance of you
But Call I see are missing Gchildren
[Chorus]
DTell me, do you Ebmiss me like a Dmissing Gchild
[Verse 2]
Trying to start my day, pouring the coffee, reach for the milk
And the Ccarton says, "Have you seen these Gchildren?"
So I go to church and pray, down on my knees, when the plate comes with
"Please give Cwhat you can for the missing Gchildren"
[Chorus]
DTell me, do you Ebmiss me like a Dmissing GchildAm  
[Bridge]
And I do feel Dbad for Cfaces in my Dface all dayAm  
But the circumDstance means, CI can't think Cmof anything but Gyou
No, CI can't care Cmfor anyone but DyouG  
[Verse 3]
So I try to get away, whole different place, but the signs are the same
There's always Cmore, more missing Gchildren
And when I closed my eyes, I used to dream sweet dreams of you
Now Call my dreams are missing Gchildren
[Chorus]
And I Dmiss you, I Ebmiss you like a Dmissing Gchild
Yeah, I Dmiss you, I Ebmiss you like a Dmissing GchildEb  
A Dmissing GchildEb  
A Dmissing GchildEb___D__G__
