Capo 3 
 
 
G   C   D   Dsus2  D  Dsus4  D 
 
G                     C 
I was standing in the grocery store line  
    D 
The one they marked express  
G                                      C  
When this woman came though with about 25 things  
           D 
And I said don't you know that more is less  
              G                  C  
She said this world is moving so fast  
       D 
I just get more behind everyday  
G                        C  
And every mornin' when I make my coffee  
        D 
I can't believe my life's turned out this way  
 
All I could say was  

G 
Love's the only house 
C 
big enough for all the 
D 
pain in the world  
G 
Love's the only house 
C                      D 
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:  
Em                     C(add9)  
And I can't explain it, and I can't understand  
    A7                                          D 
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
