No capo


There is aE middle-aged woman, she'sF♯m dragging her feet
She carriesG♯m baskets of clothes to aF♯m laundromat
While theE Mexican children kickF♯m rocks into the street
And theyG♯m laugh in a language I don'tF♯m understand
But I loveA them... why do I loveE them?

So theE neighborhood's dimming, IF♯m smoke on the porch
Watch theG♯m people as they pass enclosed iF♯mnside their cars
And on theirE faces just anger orF♯m disappointment
I startG♯m wishing there was something I couldF♯m offer them
AA consolation... what could I offerE them?

And they areE sad in their suburbs, robotsF♯m water the lawn
AndG♯m everything they touch gets dustedF♯m spotless
And so theyE start to believe they've not touchedF♯m anything at all
And theG♯m cars in the driveway onlyF♯m multiply

They areE lost in their houses, I've heard themF♯m sing in the shower
MakingG♯m speeches to their sister on theF♯m telephone
Saying you comeE home, you come here, don't stay soF♯m far away from me
ThisG♯m weather has me wanting love moreF♯m tangible
Something I canA hold... it's gettingE cold

I sayF♯m hold up ourE fists to aBm flame in the Asky
ToF♯m block out theE light that's reacBmhing for our Aeyes
'Cause it... 'cause it wouldE blind usA, yeah it willE blind us

Well I'veE locked my actions in theF♯m grooves of routine
So I mayG♯m never be free of thisF♯m apathy
But IE wait for a letter that'sF♯m coming to me
She sends meG♯m pictures of the ocean in anF♯m envelope

So there still isE hope, yes, I can be healed
There is someoneF♯m looking for what I've concealed
In my secretG♯m drawer, in my pockets deep
You will find theF♯m reasons that I can't sleep
And you will still wantA me... but will you still wantE me?
AWill you still want Eme?

Well, I sayF♯m come for theE week, you canBm sleep in my Abed
AndF♯m pass through myE life like aBm dream through my Ahead
It will... it will beE easyA, I'll make itE easy

But all IE have for the moment is aF♯m song to pass the time
AG♯m melody to keep me fromF♯m worrying
SomeE simple progression to keep myF♯m fingers busy
AndG♯m words that are sure to comeF♯m back to me
And they'll be laugAhing... and they'll be laugEhing
AMy mediocriEty
AMy mediocriEty
