[Intro]
Cm - Ab - Gm (x2)
[Verse]
Cm Ab Gm
And they're making children?
Cm Ab Gm
And they're making love
Cm Ab Gm
?With their old excuses?
Cm Bb Ab Gm
We are built for reproduction
Cm Bb Ab Gm
?But I find it soothing?
Cm Bb Ab Gm
When I am confined
Cm Bb Ab
?I'm just fearing one day soon,
Gm Cm Ab
?I'll lose my mind??
[Chorus]
Cm
?Then I'll lose my children
Ab
?Then I'll lose my love
Cm
?Then I'll sit in silence
Ab Gm
?Let the pictures soak?
Cm
Out of televisions
Ab Gm
?Float across the room?
Cm
Whisper into one ear
Ab Gm
?And out the other one
[Break]

[Verse 2]
Cm Gm
?Then I'll take my clothes off?
Bb Cm
And I'll walk around
Cm Gm
?Because it's so nice outside
Bb Cm Gm
?And I like the way the sun feels
Eb Bb
?And when it's dark?, I'll call out
Cm Bb
In the night for my mother
Cm Ab Bb
?But she isn't coming back for me?
Cm Gm Bb
'Cause she's already gone
Cm Bb Ab Gm
?But you will not tell me that?
Cm
'Cause you know, it hurts me
Bb Ab Gm
Everytime you say it
Cm
?And you know you're doing the right
Bb Ab Gm
thing
Cm
?You must know you're doing
Bb Ab
the right thing??
[Chorus]
Cm
?I have lost my children
Ab Gm
?I have lost my love?
Cm
I just sit in silence
Ab Gm
?Let the pictures soak?
Cm Ab Gm
Out of televisions?
Cm Ab Gm
Out of televisions?
Cm Ab Gm
Out of televisions
Cm Ab Gm
?Out of televisions
Cm Ab Gm
?Out of televisions??
