Corner Lot

Intro 
A F#m x2 


[Verso 1]
 
A 
I need to pick up the corner lot 
                                          F#m 
Ive got a little soft spot to be responsible 
                    F#m 
For a headache Ive got a want 
                                         F#m 
To let the cold winds bluster through my yard 
                                F#m 
And the kids that I cannot stop 
                                 A 
Yes, the kids come cut across my lawn 
                                        F#m 
And all my gaze catches is their turned backs 
                                F#m 
Thats the name of my corner lot 
                       A 
Obligation and a soft spot

A 
Well, Ive got eyes that watch 
                              F#m 
Curb appeal on the corner lot 
                                             A 
Cause many houses I saw last year humbled my heart a lot 
           A 
Commanding all their stuff 
           F#m 
But people watch and play my judge, cast shame upon the lot 
          F#m 
Ive been upkeeping it all, picture and pot 
                       A 
Like houses that I saw

Bm 
With extra commitment of mine 
                 Cm 
Im working overtime 
                     Bm 
Shooting for better shape to break on through 

Bb Eb Ab Db 

Eb  E 
But still 
Bm 
These extra people walking by 
                      Cm 
They seldom stop and talk 
                    Bm 
I really turn them off, Im consistent

   F#m 
On   consequence of the corner lot 
                                       A 
Its hard thinking up what became positive 
                                 A 
On the one hand, I guess Im not 
                                      F#m 
Letting cold winds bluster through my arse 
                                   F#m 
And the leaf piles coming on, well 
                                      A 
Its really not too bad to clean them up 
                                            F#m 
For the judging sidewalks, my verdict in immediate effect 
                                A 
Youre never stepping inside my house 
      F#m 
In my house
