Routine

F#m      D      F#m           D
    What do I do with all the children's clothes
C          Em          Em             D
 such tiny things that still smell of them
F#m         D         F#m     D
    And the footprints in the hallway
C       Em    Em         D
onto my knees scrub them away

    And how to be of use make the tea and the soup
C            Em        Em          D
All of their favorites throw them away
F#m               D          F#m      D
    And all their schoolbooks and the running shoes
C           Em           Em            D
Washing and cleaning the dirty still sink
