Intro:
E minorEm G+G C majorC G+G C majorC C6C6 D MajorD G+G D6D6
Verse:
G+G C majorC
In the corner by the doorway, sitting all on her own,
D MajorD G+G D6D6 D7/F#D7/F#
She's been there all night long on the phone,
G+G C majorC
With her head hanging down, there in the screen light,
D MajorD Bm7Bm7 G+G D MajorD C majorC
See the tears on her face and hurt in her eyes.
Chorus:
C majorC G+G
And I wonder who she's talking to,
C majorC A7A7 D MajorD
And I wonder why she's feeling so blue,
G+G C majorC
I don't know her, but I've seen her here before,
D MajorD G+G
And I wonder what she's crying for.
Break:
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G D6D6 D7/F#D7/F#
Verse:
G+G C majorC
Is she waiting for some old flame to show?
D MajorD D7D7 G+G D MajorD
Maybe it's bad news from Mom,
G+G G+G
It's hard to say though I found,
C majorC D MajorD
The cause of most hurt these days is a lack of,
G+G D MajorD
who to love in the world.
Chorus:
C majorC G+G
Now I don't know why I should care,
C majorC D MajorD
Lord knows I've got my own crosses to bear,
G+G C majorC
Last time I checked, there was no one keeping score,
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
I just wonder what she's crying for.
Interlude:
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Verse:
C majorC G+G
I'm not in the habit of taking strays, no,
C majorC C#C#
I just asked if you thought,
D MajorD
She had some place she could go,
G+G C majorC
Now she don't strike me, as the helpless soul,
D MajorD G+G
I just wonder what she's crying for,
D MajorD C majorC D MajorD G+G
Yeah I wonder what she's crying for.
