G5   C5   D5   D5  D5  D5  D5 
 
G5                     C5 
I was standing in the grocery store line  
    D5 
The one they marked express  
G5                                      C5  
When this woman came though with about 25 things  
           D5 
And I said don't you know that more is less  
              G5                  C5  
She said this world is moving so fast  
       D5 
I just get more behind everyday  
G5                        C5  
And every mornin' when I make my coffee  
        D5 
I can't believe my life's turned out this way  
 
All I could say was  


G5 
Love's the only house 
C5 
big enough for all the 
D5 
pain in the world  
G5 
Love's the only house 
C5                      D5 
big enough for all the pain   
 
He was walking by the other day 

And I said ?Hey baby...how you been?? 

Yeah, I got me a little girl now 

and she's 4 years old and she's got her daddy's little grin  

You only wanted what you can't have 

And baby you can't have me now 

I gave my heart to another 

Yeah I'm a mother and he's a father 

And we're a family and we got each other  

And I found out the hard way that  
 
Chorus  
 
You drive three miles from all this prosperity  

Down across the river and you see a ghetto there  

An' We got children walking around with guns  

And they got knives and drugs and pain to spare  

And here I am in my clean, white shirt,  

With a little money in my pocket and a nice warm home  

And we got teenagers walking around in a culture of darkness  

Living together alone...all I could say is  
 
Chorus  
 
Bridge:  
E5                     C5  
And I can't explain it, and I can't understand  
    A5                                          D5 
But I'll come down and get my hands dirty and together we'll make a stand  
 
 
Somewhere 'cross the parking lot, some bands playin' out of tune  
City streets are gonna burn if we don't do something soon  
Senorita can't quit crying, baby's due now any day  
Don Juan left, got sick of trying, no one there to show him the way  
She came down to the grocery store and She said I, I wanna buy a little carton of milk 
But I don't have any money I said Hey I'll cover you honey 
Cause the pain's gotta go somewhere  
Yeah the pains gotta go someplace...  
So come on down to my house  
 
Don't ya know that  
 
Repeat Chorus
