    A        E          G        D
With a washer and dryer in it and that's the year I bottomed out

Maybe what was missing was the sense of community that comes from
A      E               G         D
Hauling your big old load out in public and airing your dirty laundry

And the company of other people who also don't have the amenities
     A              E          G       D
At their convenience in a home that's so set up that they never have to leave
      A          E
I miss the smell, the dust, the coins, the trust
  G         D
The squeaky carts, the vibrations
  A            E
The bucket full of bleach, the dryer sheets
  G         D
The old pay phone, the giant sink
  A       E
I'd watch my daddy mop the floor
  G        D
And my heart started with a quarter
  A       E
I'd watch my daddy mop the floor
  G        D
