Where do the boys go when it gets cold out
               Em
Do they have a place to sleep?
G                D/F#                  Em
  Where did their mums go? Did they get taken
                Em
Or had they had enough of taking care of things?
G              D/F#                Em
  It's hard to say if someone's at fault
G               D/F#              Em
  If I don't do anything is it my fault?

Where do the girls go when they feel frightened

Do they have some-thing to eat?

  I've gotta find a way to make this feel o-kay
     G                         D/F#            Em
When rock bottom for me is routine for someone else

I'm gonna take care of things

I'm gonna take care of things
              Em                           C9
Cause they're not where I want them right now
               G             D/F#
I know there's good in every-thing
                  Em                      C9
And it'll show it-self when you're gentle to it

I'm gonna take care of things

  Sat in a cold room, The corners feel friendly
                     Em
I think they'll take care of me
G                 D/F#                Em
  My brothers are circles, My sisters quadrilaterals
                Em
And they're all so pretty

They're not where I need them right now

I know there's good in every-thing
                  Em                      C9
And it'll show it-self when you're gentle to it
