(verse 1)
G                    D/F#
A mother riding on a city bus
Em7                      D
Kids are yelling kicking up a fuss
Cadd9
Everybody?s staring
     C/B                           D
Not knowing what she's going through
G                         D/F#
  Somebody said don't you even care
    Em7                    
And do you let them do that 
  D
everywhere
   Cadd9         C/B              
She slowly turned  around, looked 
            D
up and stared.



(pre-cho)
Em7                           
She said, "Please forgive them 
Cadd9
They've been up all night"
Em7                           
Their father struggled But he 
Cadd9
finally lost his fight
Em7                      Cadd9
He went to heaven In the middle of 
the night
   Cadd9  C/B   Am  G        D
So please for--give my children

They don?t understand."




(chorus)
G                          D/F#
Everybody's busy with their own 
situation
Em7                        D
Everybody's lost in their own little
 world
Cadd9                   C/B      
Bottled up, hurried up, trying to
                    D
 make a dream come true

They don't understand
G                             
Everybody's livin' like there ain't 
D/F#
no tomorrow
Em7                           D
Maybe we should stop and take a 
little time
Cadd9                        C/B 
Cause you never really know what 
                          D
your neighbor?s going through

They don't understand.

(verse 2)
A man drivin on the interstate,
slowin down traffic makin everybody 
late,
Everybody's starin' not knowin what 
he's goin through,
Sombody honked from the passin' 
lane,
yelled out the window ain't got all 
day,
The old man looked around and he 
caught his eye,


(pre- cho)

HE said please forgive me,
you know it's been a real long life,
My wife has passed away and my kids 
don't have the time,
And I've been there ? long and it's 
gettin' hard to drive,
So please forgive me children,
They don't understand.

(verse 3)
G                 D/F#
A man hangin on a wooden cross,
Em7                   D
Given everything to save the lost,
Cadd9                   C/B      
Everybody's starin not knowin 
                 D

Somebody said you don't have a 
prayer,
Em7                      D
If you're a king come on down from 
there,
Cadd9                      C/B   
The man just turned his head and 
                  D
looked up and stared,



(pre-cho)
Em7                            
He said please forgive them, For 
     Cadd9
they have not seen the light,
Em7                           
They'll come to know me when I come 
Cadd9
back to life,
Em7                      
The road to heaven to make 
     Cadd9
everything alright,
   Cadd9  C/B   Am   G         D
So please for--give your children,

They don't understand
