[INTRO:] C   F    C  F    C  F  G    F

[VERSE 1:]
             C        F
Well, you're looking so sad
      C        F
Is it feeling so bad?
         C                F               G
You look like you've just had a sleepless night
          F
Or even a fight_____


[VERSE 2:]
         C         F
It's not easy growing old
       C           F
It can make you feel cold
         C             F          G
And your clothes are a little too tight
                   F           G
And you never feel right______


[CHORUS:]
                       D
Oh, what's the matter, sister
         F                       C       G
Has your fairy godmother let you down_____
                          D
Did she come here and you missed her
             F
Well, you'll catch her next time round____


[VERSE 3:]
           C               F
Well, it's been a long, long time
        C          F
Since I last saw you smile
        C             F          G
Are you doing this on purpose to me____
            F
What can it be_____


[VERSE 4:]
       C        F
Do you have to go round
          C             F
With your head bowed to the ground
C         F        G
Living on your misery___
                F          G
Is that all you see_______


[CHORUS:]
                       D       F
Oh, what's the matter, baby___
                  C          G
Why do you look so pained___
                            D
Did it happen yesterday, or maybe___
      F
Is it something deep ingrained___


[VERSE 5:]
          C      F
Well, I'm doing my best
        C         F
And I'm taking your test
         C         F              G
Yes, I'm trying so hard to please you___
            F
Taking your queue_____


[VERSE 6:]
        C           F
I don't talk out of turn
              C          F
I gave you my bridges to burn____
            C        F              G
And I don't know any more things to do
                     F         G
Won't you leave me a few______


[CHORUS:]
                       D       F
Oh, what's the matter, mama___
                    C       G
Why do you cry this way____
                           D
You think someone's out to harm you___
            F                  C  F    
But you cry every single day__________
