[Intro] (add the Eadd#9 occasionally)
E
[Verse 1]
E F#m11
There is a middle-aged woman, she's dragging her feet
E/G# F#m11
She carries baskets of clothes to a laundromat
E F#m11
While the Mexican children kick rocks into the street
E/G# F#m11
And they laugh in a language I don't understand
A
But I love them... why do I love them?
E Eadd#9 E A
E E
[Verse 2]
E F#m11
So the neighborhood's dimming, I smoke on the porch
E/G# F#m11
Watch the people as they pass enclosed inside their cars
E F#m11
And on their faces just anger or disappointment
E/G# F#m11
I start wishing there was something I could offer them
A
A consolation... what could I offer them?
E Eadd#9 E A
E
[Verse 3]
E F#m11
And they are sad in their suburbs, robots water the lawn
E/G# F#m11
And everything they touch gets dusted spotless
E F#m11
And so they start to believe they've not touched anything at all
E/G# F#m11
And the cars in the driveway only multiply
E F#m11
They are lost in their houses, I've heard them sing in the shower
E/G# F#m11
Making speeches to their sister on the telephone
E F#m11
Saying you come home, you come here, don't stay so far away from me
E/G# F#m11
This weather has me wanting love more tangible
A
Something I can hold... 'cause it's getting cold
