Suffer the Children
(Orzabal)
GIt's a sad affair,
G7when there's no one there,
CHe calls out in the Gnight.
And it's so unfair,
G7at least it seems that way,
Cwhen you gave him his Glife.
And Fall this time he's been getting you down,
You ought to Cpick him up when there's no one around,
And conFvince him,
Oh just Ctalk to him,
Cause he Fknows in his heart you won't be home soon,
And he's Can only child in an only room
And he's Fdependent on you
Oh he's dCependent 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

Suffer the Children

(Orzabal)

It's a sad affair,

when there's no one there,

C G

He calls out in the night.

And it's so unfair,

at least it seems that way,

C G

when you gave him his life.

And all this time he's been getting you down,

You ought to pick him up when there's no one around,

And convince him,

Oh just talk to him,

Cause he knows in his heart you won't be home soon,

And he's an only child in an only room

And he's dependent on you

Oh he's dependent 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

D D7 G C G
