IT SURE GETS QUIET 
WHEN THE KIDS 
GO TO BED 

WE SIT HERE IN 
THE SILENCE 
PUTTING OFF 
WHAT MUST BE SAID 

I READ A BOOK 
YOU WATCH TV 
AS OUR LOVE DIES 
QUIETLY 

I'M SO SAD 
I DON'T KNOW 
WHAT I JUST READ 
SOMEBODY 

SHOULD LEAVE 
BUT WHICH ONE 
SHOULD IT BE 
YOU NEED THE KIDS 

AND THEY NEED ME 
SOMEBODY 
SHOULD LEAVE 
BUT WE HATE TO 

GIVE IN 
WE KEEP HOPIN' 
SOMEHOW 
WE MIGHT NEED 

EACH OTHER AGAIN 
4 BAR 
BREAK 


YOU SAY GOODNIGHT 
AND TURN AND 
FACE THE WALL 
WE LIE HERE 

IN THE DARKNESS 
AND THE TEARS 
START TO FALL 
IF IT WAS ONLY 

YOU AND ME 
GOODBYE MIGHT COME 
MORE EASILY 
BUT WHAT ABOUT THOSE 

BABIES DOWN THE HALL 
SOMEBODY 
SHOULD LEAVE 
BUT WHICH ONE 

SHOULD IT BE 
YOU NEED THE KIDS 
AND THEY NEED ME 
SOMEBODY 

SHOULD LEAVE 
BUT WE HATE TO GIVE IN 
WE KEEP HOPIN' 
SOMEHOW WE MIGHT 

NEED EACH OTHER AGAIN 
SOMEBODY 
SHOULD LEAVE 
BUT WE HATE TO GIVE IN 

WE JUST KEEP HOPIN' 
WE MIGHT NEED 
EACH OTHER AGAIN
