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 


Chorus: 
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
