[G] [F#] What [D] a tragedy is getting [Em]
old
Kids are different today
I hear every mother say
Mother needs something today to [F] calm her down
[D] And [G] though she's not really ill
[C] There's a [G] little [A] yellow pill
She goes running [Am] for the shelter [D] of her mother's little helper
[E] And it helps her [Em] on her way
Get her through her busy day
Things are different today
I hear every mother say
Cooking fresh food for her husband's [F] just a [D] drag
[G] So she fires an instant cake
[C] And she burns a [Am] frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter [D] of her mother's little helper
[Em] And to help her on her way
Get her through her busy day
Doctor, [C] please
Some [D] more of these
[G] Outside the door
She's [C] a fool, no
[D] What a tragedy is [Em] getting old
Men just aren't the same today
I hear every mother say
They just don't appreciate that [F] you get tired
[D] [G] There's no heart to satisfy
[C] You can [Am] tranquilize your man
So go running for the shelter [D] of her mother's little helper
[E] And borrow a few through the night
To [Em] help to minimize your plight
[C] Doctor, please
Some [D] more of these
[G] Outside the door
She's a [C] fool, no
[D] What a tragedy is [Em] getting old
Life is much too hard today
I hear every mother say
The pursuit of happiness just [F] seems a bore
[D] And [G] if you take more of those
You [C] will get an [Am] overdose
No more running for the shelter [D] of her mother's little helper
They [Em] just help to on the way
Through your busy dying day
[D] [G]
