I couldn't understand why you left me standing here,
       F                             Dm
Flickering out like a candle in the wind.
G                                           Am
The memories are laced with shame, there's no intention
Dm              G             F          C
Working out the problems that remain the same.

C                                G
Little children standing in the hall,
Am                G            D
Never taught them anything at all.
       F                               C
And if you were young again, would you do it different?
    G                                     E                         
Or make your way just trying to find the fiction in the fact of life?

Try to believe the words that you said to me are true,
     F                                Dm
But something else assures me I'm not through.
G                              Am
Been denied so many times, and so I'm told to
Dm              G             F          C
Sit back and ignore the truth, enjoy the ride, yeah.

C                              G
Never took a hand with her to school.
Am                G                 D
Take a guess and tell us who's the fool.
     F                               C
And you're not supposed to be my responsibility;
G                                     E
One day you'll regain your pride, and realize life is too short not 
    C
 to try.
      G       F       G
Does anybody care?
    E            C G F G 
Does anybody...
E        Am
Does anybody care?
