Taking Care Of Things

             G                    
Where do the boys go when it gets 
D/F#
cold out
               Em
Do they have a place to sleep?
G                D/F#            
  Where did their mums go? Did 
      Em
they get taken
                Em
Or had they had enough of taking 
care of things?
G              D/F#               
  It's hard to say if someone's at
 Em
 fault
G               D/F#              
  If I don't do anything is it my 
Em
fault?
