Doing The Right Thing

• Cm

Play softly in the intro and then increase the strumming

Intro
Cm - G# - Gm (x2)

                    Cm     G# Gm
And they're making children

                    Cm G# Gm
And they're making love
                    Cm G# Gm

With their old excuses

                 Cm Bb G#   Gm
We are built for reproduction
               Cm    Bb G# Gm

But I find it soothing

             Cm  Bb G# Gm
When I am confined
                 Cm  Bb  G#

I'm just fearing one day soon,
     Gm          Cm Bb G# Gm

I'll lose my mind



                   Cm     

Then I'll lose my children
                   G#

Then I'll lose my love
                 Cm

Then I'll sit in silence
           G# Gm

Let the pictures soak

           Cm 
Out of televisions
             G#

Float across the room

              Cm
Whisper into one ear
            G# Gm

And out the other one

                   Cm     Bb

Then I'll take my clothes off

        G#
And I'll walk around
                Cm   Bb

Because it's so nice outside
   G#

And I like the way the sun feels
              Cm         Bb

And when it's dark
, I'll call out 
                   G#
In the night for my mother
              Cm     Bb

But she isn't coming back for me

            G#
'Cause she's already gone
                 Cm        Bb G# Gm

But you will not tell me that

                   Cm           
'Cause you know, it hurts me
    Bb              G# Gm
Everytime you say it
                    Cm

And you know you're doing the right
   Bb G# Gm
 thing
                     Cm    

You must know you're doing 
             Bb G# Gm
the right thing



                Cm

I have lost my children
            G#

I have lost my love

               Cm
I just sit in silence
            G# Gm

Let the pictures soak

           Cm     G# Gm
Out of televisions

           Cm     G# Gm
Out of televisions

           Cm     G# Gm
Out of televisions
           Cm     G# Gm

Out of televisions
           Cm     G# Gm

Out of televisions



Instrumental
Cm - Bb - G# - Gm

                     Cm    G# Gm

And they're making children
              Cm  G# Gm

Everyone's in love
              Cm     G# Gm (hold)

I just sit in silence


Let the pictures soak
