_ Na na [G] na, hey hey hey, [E] oh oh oh, [A] hey hey
That _ _ _ _ young boy without a name, anywhere I'd know his face
In this city, they keep my favorite, [G] I've seen him, I've seen him
I see him [A] every day, I've _ _ _ _ seen him run outside
Looking for a place to hide from his father
The kid half naked, [G] and said to [E]
myself
Oh, what's the [A] matter here? _ _
_ _ _ [D] I'm tired of [E] the [F#m] excuses everybody uses to [D] beg him
[E] I'd stay [A] out of it
_ [D] But who [E] gave you [F#m] the right to [D] do this?
[E] _
[A] We live on Morgan Street, just ten feet between
_ And his mother, I never see her, [Em] but I scream, damn close [E] it
I hear them [A] every day _ _ _ _ _
Threats like, you don't mind, I will beat on your behind
Slap you, _ _ slap you silly, make [G] me sing
The kid [E] half naked, and said to myself
Oh, what's the matter here?
_ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] I'm tired of [E] the [F#m] excuses everybody uses
He's [D] your kid, [E] do as you [A] see fit _
[D] But get [E] this through [F#m] net, I don't approve of what [D] you did
To [E] your own [A] flesh and blood _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I hear them _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ every _ _ _

[F#m] day
Threats like, you _ [D] don't mind, [E] _ _
[A] _ _ I [D] will beat [E] on _
[F#m] _ _ _ [D] your _ [E] _ _
[A] behind
Slap _ _ _ [D] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] you, slap you silly, make me sing
The kid [Em] _ half naked, and said [E] to myself _
[Em] I'll take this bath [E] from around my waist
[Em] And don't you [E] think that I would
Answer [D] me [E] and take your time
[F#m] What could be the offer, pray [D] me good
[E] To a soul [A] young and ale
If [D] I'm the only [E] witness to your [F#] madness
Offer me [F#m] some words to [D] vomit
Out what [E] I see and what [A] I hear
All [D] these _ [E] _ _ [F#m] cusses that you do
I [D] suppose you do [E] because he [A] belongs to you
And [D] instead of [E] loving the feel of [F#m] all you've given him
These cusses and [D] sores that don't give [E] you time [A] or relate _ _
_ _ _ And I want to say, I [Em] want to say _ _
_ _ What's the [A] matter here? _ _
_ But I [G] don't dare say [E]
it
_ What's the matter [A] here? _ _
_ But I [G] don't dare [E] say _ _ _ _ [A] it _ _
