[Intro]
Em G C G C C6 D G D6
[Verse]
G C
In the corner by the doorway, sitting all on her own,
D G D6 D7/F#
She's been there all night long on the phone,
G C
With her head hanging down, there in the screen light,
D Bm7 G D C
See the tears on her face and hurt in her eyes.
[Chorus]
C G
And I wonder who she's talking to,
C A7 D
And I wonder why she's feeling so blue,
G C
I don't know her, but I've seen her here before,
D G
And I wonder what she's crying for.
[Break]
D Em C G C D G D6 D7/F#
[Verse]
G C
Is she waiting for some old flame to show?
D D7 G D
Maybe it's bad news from Mom,
G G
It's hard to say though I found,
C D
The cause of most hurt these days is a lack of,
G D
who to love in the world.
[Chorus]
C G
Now I don't know why I should care,
C D
Lord knows I've got my own crosses to bear,
G C
Last time I checked, there was no one keeping score,
D G D
I just wonder what she's crying for.
[Interlude]
G C D G D G C D G D
[Verse]
C G
I'm not in the habit of taking strays, no,
C C#
I just asked if you thought,
D
She had some place she could go,
G C
Now she don't strike me, as the helpless soul,
D G
I just wonder what she's crying for,
D C D G
Yeah I wonder what she's crying for.
