G 
It's a sad affair, 
G7 
when there's no one there, 
C                   G 
He calls out in the night. 
And it's so unfair, 
G7 
at least it seems that way, 
C                     G 
when you gave him his life. 
 
    F 
And all this time he's been getting you down, 
             C 
You ought to pick him up when there's no one around, 
       F 
And convince him, 
        C 
Oh just talk to him, 
         F 
Cause he knows in his heart you won't be home soon, 
        C 
And he's an only child in an only room 
         F 
And he's dependent on you 
         C 
Oh he's dependent on you
