She carries
While the
And they
But I love
So the
Watch the
And on their

A
And they are
And
And so they
And the
They are
Making
Saying you come
This
Something I can
I say
To
'Cause it... 'cause it would
Well I've

But I
She sends me
So there still is
There is someone
In my secret
You will find the

Start with fingerpicking
E
There is a
E
middle-aged woman, she's F#m
dragging her feetShe carries
G#m
baskets of clothes to a F#m
laundromatWhile the
E
Mexican children kick F#m
rocks into the streetAnd they
G#m
laugh in a language I don't F#m
understandBut I love
A
them... why do I love E
them?So the
E
neighborhood's dimming, I F#m
smoke on the porchWatch the
G#m
people as they pass enclosed inF#m
side their carsAnd on their
E
faces just anger or F#m
disappointmentI start
G#m
wishing there was something I could F#m
offer themA
A
consolation... what could I offer E
them?And they are
E
sad in their suburbs, robots F#m
water the lawnAnd
G#m
everything they touch gets dusted F#m
spotlessAnd so they
E
start to believe they've not touched F#m
anything at allAnd the
G#m
cars in the driveway only F#m
multiplyThey are
E
lost in their houses, I've heard them F#m
sing in the showerMaking
G#m
speeches to their sister on the F#m
telephoneSaying you come
E
home, you come here, don't stay so F#m
far away from meThis
G#m
weather has me wanting love more F#m
tangibleSomething I can
A
hold... it's getting E
coldI say
F#m
hold up our E
fists to a B
flame in the A
skyTo
F#m
block out the E
light that's reachB
ing for our A
eyes'Cause it... 'cause it would
E
blind us,A
yeah it will E
blind usWell I've
E
locked my actions in the F#m
grooves of routineSo I may
G#m
never be free of this F#m
apathyBut I
E
wait for a letter that's F#m
coming to meShe sends me
G#m
pictures of the ocean in an F#m
envelopeSo there still is
E
hope, yes, I can be healedThere is someone
F#m
looking for what I've concealedIn my secret
G#m
drawer, in my pockets deepYou will find the
F#m
reasons that I can't sleepAnd you will still want
A
me... but will you still want E
me?A
Will you still want E
me?Well, I say
F#m
come for the E
week, you can B
sleep in my A
bedAnd
F#m
pass through my E
life like a B
dream through my A
headIt will... it will be
E
easy,A
I'll make it E
easyBut all I
E
have for the moment is a F#m
song to pass the timeA
G#m
melody to keep me from F#m
worryingSome
E
simple progression to keep my F#m
fingers busyAnd
G#m
words that are sure to come F#m
back to meAnd they'll be laugh
A
ing... and they'll be laughE
ingA
My mediocriE
tyA
My mediocriE
