E11                 F#12
4Make them stay at home,
    E13                  F#14
5And daddy doesn't understand it,
          B15            B16       E17
6He always said she was good as gold.
           E18                         E19
7And he can see no reasons, cos there are no reasons,
     E20                         F#21    F#722
8What reasons do you need to be shown?

18The Telex machine is kept so clean,
       E40                  F#41
19And it types to a waiting world,
           B42                          D#m43
20And Mother feels so shocked; Father's world is rocked,
          E44                      F#45
21And their thoughts turn to their own little girl.
E46                        F#47
22Sweet sixteen ain't that peachy keen,
       B48                   E49
23No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat,
         E50                        E51
24They can see no reasons cos there are no reasons
     E52              F#53   F#754
25What reasons do you need?

    B83                      D#m84
41And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
        E85               F#86   F#87  F#88
42And the lesson today is how to die.
             E89                          F#sus490
43And then the bullhorn crackles, and the captain tackles,
         B91                E92     B93   E94
44With the problems and the how's and why's
           E95                         E96
45And he can see no reasons, cos there are no reasons
