A Song To Pass The Time Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 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
