Intro: C      Am  G 
  
C          F      G       C 
Two little girls, hand in hand 
F                  Am    Am-G 
Wait in the winter rain 
     C               F             G            C 
They said their good-byes and they opened their eyes 
         F                       Am     Am-G 
And they stared down a westbound train 
  C          F               G          C 
I read in my paper they were feeling so bad 
      F                  Am    Am-G 
About this and the other thing 
    C           F                 G            C 
But all I could think of were the parents back home 
F                       Am     Am-G  C 
Waiting on the phone to ring 
            G      C           Am     Am-G-C 
Why do they do the things they do? 
            G      C           Am     Am-G 
Why do they do the things they do? 


C            F                  G            C 
Billy said, "Take them, I won't need them anymore" 
       F                                Am    Am-G 
And we laughed at what we thought was a joke 
   C                F              G        C 
He went down Monday morning to the hardware store 
         F                           Am    Am-G 
And they found him at the end of his rope 
      C          F           G        C 
For a long while after I was walking around 
       F                    Am     Am-G 
With a terrible case of the blues 
  C             F                 G             C 
I couldn't hear laughter, I could just hear the sound 
      F                       Am     Am-G  C 
Of my feet in that dead man's shoes 
            G      C           Am     Am-G-C 
Why do they do the things they do?  
            G      C           Am     Am-G-C 
Why do they do the things they do?

     C            F        G          C 
They leave in the morning, leaving no warning 
F                           Am   Am-G 
Sometimes they spell it all out 
     C            F        G        C 
They leave in the evening, no one believing 
     F                     Am    Am-G 
That this could have come about 
     C            F        G     C 
They dwell on the sadness, anticipating 
    F                    Am    Am-G 
The dream of a dreamless night 
     C             F                 G         C 
They live with the darkness, and for all their waiting 
     F                     Am     Am-G  C 
They never see the morning light 
            G      C           Am     Am-G-C 
Why do they do the things they do? 
            G      C           Am     Am-G-C 
Why do they do the things they do?
