Play softly in the intro and then increase the strumming
[Intro]
Cm - G# - Gm (x2)
[Verse]
Cm G# Gm
And they're making children
Cm G# Gm
And they're making love
Cm G# Gm
With their old excuses
Cm Bb G# Gm
We are built for reproduction
Cm Bb G# Gm
But I find it soothing
Cm Bb G# Gm
When I am confined
Cm Bb G#
I'm just fearing one day soon,
Gm Cm Bb G# Gm
I'll lose my mind
[Chorus]
Cm
Then I'll lose my children
G#
Then I'll lose my love
Cm
Then I'll sit in silence
G# Gm
Let the pictures soak
Cm
Out of televisions
G#
Float across the room
Cm
Whisper into one ear
G# Gm
And out the other one
[Verse 2]
Cm Bb
Then I'll take my clothes off
G#
And I'll walk around
Cm Bb
Because it's so nice outside
G#
And I like the way the sun feels
Cm Bb
And when it's dark
, I'll call out
G#
In the night for my mother
Cm Bb
But she isn't coming back for me
G#
'Cause she's already gone
Cm Bb G# Gm
But you will not tell me that
Cm
'Cause you know, it hurts me
Bb G# Gm
Everytime you say it
Cm
And you know you're doing the right
Bb G# Gm
thing
Cm
You must know you're doing
Bb G# Gm
the right thing
[Chorus]
Cm
I have lost my children
G#
I have lost my love
Cm
I just sit in silence
G# Gm
Let the pictures soak
Cm G# Gm
Out of televisions
Cm G# Gm
Out of televisions
Cm G# Gm
Out of televisions
Cm G# Gm
Out of televisions
Cm G# Gm
Out of televisions
[Instrumental]
Cm - Bb - G# - Gm
Cm G# Gm
And they're making children
Cm G# Gm
Everyone's in love
Cm G# Gm (hold)
I just sit in silence
Let the pictures soak
