Martina McBride

^G I was standing in the ^C grocery store line, the ^D* one marked "Express", when this ^G
woman came through with about ^C 25 things. And I said, ^D* "Don't you know that more is
less?"
She said this ^G world is moving so ^C fast, I just ^D* get more behind every day
^G And every morning when I ^C make my coffee, I can't be- ^D* lieve my life has turned
out this way. All I can say is -
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 big enough for all the ^D* pain
^G He was walking by the ^C other day and I said, ^D* "Hey, baby, how yah been?"
^G Yeah! I got a little girl ^C now and she's four years old and ^D* she's got her daddy's little
grin
^G You only wanted 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 a ^C mother and he's a father and we're a ^D* family
and we got each other and I found out the hard way that -
CHORUS (lead harmony), then 4 measure instrumental with harmonica
^G You drive 3 miles from all this ^C prosperity, down across the ^D* river and you see a
ghetto there.
^G/Bm** We got children walking around with ^C guns and they got knives and ^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/Bm We got teenagers ^C walking around in a culture of darkness ^D* living together
alone.

^G Senorita can't quit crying, ^C baby's die now any day. ^D Don Juan left, got

^G She came down to the ^C grocery store, she ^D said, "I, I wanna buy a little carton of milk,
but I don't have any money." ^G/Bm I said ^C hey, "I'll cover you honey." ^D
