Start with fingerpicking E
MI FA#m
There is a middle-aged woman, she's dragging her feet
SOL#m FA#m
She carries baskets of clothes to a laundromat
MI FA#m
While the Mexican children kick rocks into the street
SOL#m FA#m
And they laugh in a language I don't understand
LA MI
But I love them... why do I love them?
MI FA#m
So the neighborhood's dimming, I smoke on the porch
SOL#m FA#m
Watch the people as they pass enclosed inside their cars
MI FA#m
And on their faces just anger or disappointment
SOL#m FA#m
I start wishing there was something I could offer them
LA MI
A consolation... what could I offer them?
MI FA#m
And they are sad in their suburbs, robots water the lawn
SOL#m FA#m
And everything they touch gets dusted spotless
MI FA#m
And so they start to believe they've not touched anything at all
SOL#m FA#m
And the cars in the driveway only multiply
MI FA#m
They are lost in their houses, I've heard them sing in the shower
SOL#m FA#m
Making speeches to their sister on the telephone
MI FA#m
Saying you come home, you come here, don't stay so far away from me
SOL#m FA#m
This weather has me wanting love more tangible
LA MI
Something I can hold... it's getting cold
FA#m MI SIm LA
I say hold up our fists to a flame in the sky
FA#m MI SIm LA
To block out the light that's reaching for our eyes
MI LA MI
'Cause it... 'cause it would blind us, yeah it will blind us
MI FA#m
Well I've locked my actions in the grooves of routine
SOL#m FA#m
So I may never be free of this apathy
MI FA#m
But I wait for a letter that's coming to me
SOL#m FA#m
She sends me pictures of the ocean in an envelope
MI
So there still is hope, yes, I can be healed
FA#m
There is someone looking for what I've concealed
SOL#m
In my secret drawer, in my pockets deep
FA#m
You will find the reasons that I can't sleep
LA MI
And you will still want me... but will you still want me?
LA MI
Will you still want me?
FA#m MI SIm LA
Well, I say come for the week, you can sleep in my bed
FA#m MI SIm LA
And pass through my life like a dream through my head
MI LA MI
It will... it will be easy, I'll make it easy
MI FA#m
But all I have for the moment is a song to pass the time
SOL#m FA#m
A melody to keep me from worrying
MI FA#m
Some simple progression to keep my fingers busy
SOL#m FA#m
And words that are sure to come back to me
LA MI
And they'll be laughing... and they'll be laughing
LA MI
My mediocrity
LA MI
My mediocrity
LA MI LA MI
