[Verse 1]
[G]I was standing
in the grocery [C]store line
The [D]one they marked express
When this [G]wo man came through
with [C]about 25 things
And I [D]said don't you know
that more is less
She said this [G]world is moving so [C]fast
I just get [D]more behind with every day
[G]And every morning when
I make [C]my coffee
I can't [D]believe my life's
turned out this way
All I could say was

[Verse 2]
[G]Love's the only house big [C]enough
for all the [D]pain in the world
[G]Love's the only house big
[C]enough for all the pain
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]He was walking by the oth
[C]er day and I said
Hey [D]baby how you been?
[G]Yeah I got me a little girl now[C]
and she's 4 years old
And [D]she's got her daddy's little grin
And [G]you only want what [C]you can't have
And baby [D]you can't have me now
I gave my heart to [G]another
Yeah I'm [C]a mother and he's a father
and we're [D]a family
And we've got each other
And I found out the hard way that

[Verse 5]
[G]You drive three miles from
all [C]this prosperity
Down across the [D]river and you
see a ghetto there
[G]And we got children walking
around [C]with guns
And they got knives with
[D]drugs and pain to spare
[G]And here I am in my clean,
[C]white shirt
With a little money in my [D]pocket
and a nice warm home
[G]And we got teenagers walkin'[C] around
in a culture of darkness
[D]Livin' together alone,
and all I can say is

[Verse 6]
[G]Love's the only house big [C]enough
for all the [D]pain in the world
[G]Love's the only house big [C]enough
for all the pain
[D]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
And I can't explain [Asus4]it
[A]and I can't understand
[C]But I'll come down and get my hands dirty
and togeth[D]er we'll make a stand
Some[G]where cross the parking lot
[C]some bands playin' out of tune
[D]City streets are gonna burn if we
don't do something soon
And [G]senorita can't quit cryin',
[C]baby's due now any day
[D]Don Juan left, got sick of tryin'
No one there to show him the [G]way
She came down to the grocery [C]store and
She said [D]I, I wanna buy a little carton of milk
but I don't have [G]any money
[C]I said hey I'll cover you [D]honey cause
the pain's gotta go [G]somewhere
[C]Yeah the pain's gotta go [D]someplace
So come on down to my [G]house[C][D]
Don't you know that
