Key: D major
Verse 1
said she's 16th in line
To talk to the doctor for the
second time today
understaffed and underpaid
Her oldest daughter has retreated
inside herself again
Glued to the screen, terrified of everything
And all the birds were singing when
they sat down to eat
Breakfast from the food bank,
seven days a week
a magpie lands on a fence
And she thinks,

D
how much does it cost to live a good life?
G
A
How much is the cost of living
That second passes quickly,
and now she's washing up
Worrying about how old the
bills are stacking up
that right now
She's gotta get the kids to school
Not that they're ever
gonna stop the cancer
But it's the only way that she knows
To show her that she loves her
When she was a little kid
Tesco trolley

And she thinks, how much does it cost

She gets on with her ex -boyfriend
But he drives her crazy
Certified
Sparky who got treated like a baby and
Now manager's orders,
A
D
he kind of died inside and became a slave to boredom
She set up shop in the
shadow of a student loan
A teaching qualification she
achieved all on her own
of a teacher's assistant
And she thinks,

how much does it cost to live a good life?

How much is the cost of
The kids are snuggled up in bed and
she's reading them a story
About what's really important,
about hope and glory
About right and wrong
lessons we are ever gonna learn
How did you like the song?
