What Do You Care? by Patricia Conroy
(capo on 1st fret) intro A D
A
Well, You called me from your new home
D A
On the other side of town,
A E
Just to find out how I was doing on my own,
A
Well just listen to the silence
D A
When you hang up the phone,
A E A
And Darling, that's my life since you've been gone.
A
But what do you care?
D A
You've got someone with you there
A E
And you don't have to cry yourself to sleep...
A
What do you care?
D A
How I'm doing without you here,
D E
You're never coming back,
A
So what do you care?
A
I still go to work at seven,
D A
I'm usually home by five,
A
I guess nothing's changed
E
Since you walked out my door,
A
I still wake up and greet each morning
D A
With a pillow in my arms,
A E A
Till I find out I'm not dreaming anymore.
A
But what do you care?
D A
You've got someone with you there,
A E
And you don't have to cry yourself to sleep...
A
What do you care?
D A
How I'm doing without you here,
D E
You're never coming back,
A
So what do you care?
