C F
Well, you're looking so sad
C F
Is it feeling so bad?
C F G
You look like you've just had a sleepless night

Or even a fight_____
[VERSE 2:]
C F
It's not easy growing old
C F
It can make you feel cold
C F G
And your clothes are a little too tight
F G
And you never feel right______
[CHORUS:]
D
Oh, what's the matter, sister
F C G
Has your fairy godmother let you down_____
D
Did she come here and you missed her
F
Well, you'll catch her next time round____
[VERSE 3:]
C F
Well, it's been a long, long time
C F
Since I last saw you smile
C F G
Are you doing this on purpose to me____
F
What can it be_____
[VERSE 4:]
C F
Do you have to go round
C F
With your head bowed to the ground
C F G
Living on your misery___
F G
Is that all you see_______
[CHORUS:]
D F
Oh, what's the matter, baby___
C G
Why do you look so pained___
D
Did it happen yesterday, or maybe___
F
Is it something deep ingrained___
[VERSE 5:]
C F
Well, I'm doing my best
C F
And I'm taking your test
C F G
Yes, I'm trying so hard to please you___
F
Taking your queue_____
[VERSE 6:]
C F
I don't talk out of turn
C F
I gave you my bridges to burn____
C F G
And I don't know any more things to do
F G
Won't you leave me a few______
[CHORUS:]
D F
Oh, what's the matter, mama___
C G
Why do you cry this way____

You think someone's out to harm you___
F C F
But you cry every single day__________
