(B minor) (F sharp minor) (G major) (A major)
Verse 1
With the (B minor) money from her accident
She (G major) bought herself a mobile (D major) home (F sharp minor/C#)
So at least (A major) she could get some enjoyment (G major)
out of being alone (B minor) (A major)
No one could (G major) say that she was left up
on the (D major) shelf
It's you and (A major) me against the World kid

She ran a (B minor) way from home (G major)
in her mother's best (D major) coat (F sharp minor/C#)
She was married (A major) before she was even (G major)
entitled to (B minor) vote (A major)
And her husband (G major) was one of those (D major) blokes
The sort that (A major) only laughs at his own (B minor) jokes
The sort a (G major) war takes away (D major)
And when there (A major) wasn't a war he left anyway

Bridge 1
(G major) Norman (D major) Whitfield and (F sharp minor) Barrett (A major) Strong
Are here (G major) to make (D major) right every- (F sharp minor) thing

Are (A major) here to make it all okay with you

And (B minor) one dark night he (G major) came home
from the (D major) sea (F sharp minor/C#)
And put a (A major) hole in her body
(G major) where no hole should (B minor) be (A major)

And though they (A major) stitched her back together
they left her heart in pieces on the (B minor) floor (A major)

When the world (G major) falls apart
(A major) some things stay in (B minor) place (A major)

(A major) some things stay in (B minor) place (A major)
