Understood

G
We were raised in a little house

With three of us lord it must?ve been rough
C                                   G
But mom and daddy knew just what to do

They tried to teach us right from wrong

About the lord and the angels above
C                                  D
But there were things I never understood

(Chorus)
C                             D
Like where they went when the sun came up
G          F#m         Em
Some other lady taking care of us
Am             C              D
Waiting by the door late afternoon
C                          D
The way he laughed and the way she smiled
G          F#m              Em
The loving hugs that lasted for a while
Am                   C               D
The sun went down to fast and way to soon
C             D             G
Lord I wish I could?ve understood

G C D G

G
Now we?re all grown and we?ve our ways

I?ve got two kids begging me to play
C                                 G
But what I do takes up most of my time

We try to teach them right from wrong

About the lord and the angels above
C                                    D
But in they?re eyes I see the past I knew

(Chorus2)
C                         D
Like where we go when the sun comes up
G          F#m         Em
Some other lady taking care of ?em

Am             C              D
Waiting by the door late afternoon
C                       D
The way I laugh and the way she smiles
G          F#m            Em
The loving hugs that last for a while
Am                   C               D
The sun goes down to fast and way to soon
C                D       G
Lord I wish they somehow understood


(bridge)
C                D
We try to do the best we can
G            F#m                Em
To give them love and make them understand
Am             C                D
Why we have to do the things we do
C                D            G    F#m   Em
Lord I wish they somehow understood
C                D             G
Lord I wish they could?ve understood
