[Primeira Parte]

         Bm
With the money from her accident
    G                       D      D/C#
She bought herself a mobile home
      A                           G
So at least she could get some enjoyment
              Bm      Bm A
out of living alone
             G                         D
No one could say she was left upon the shelf
    A
Its you and me against the world she mumble to herself

She ran away from home in her mother's best coat
        A                      G                Bm     Bm  A
She was married before she was even entitled to vote
        G                        D
And her husband was one of those blokes
             A                      Bm
The sort who only laughs at his own jokes
    G                     D
The sort that a war takes away
               A
And when there wasn't a war he left her anyway

One dark night he came home from the sea
          A                 G                    Bm   Bm  A
And put a hole in her body, where no hole should be
            G                               D
It hurt her more to see him walking out the door
                A
And though they stiched her back together they left her heart in
              Bm      A
pieces on the floor
         G                 A                  Bm     Bm A
When the world falls apart somethings stay in place

She takes off the Four Tops tape

When the world falls apart somethings stay in place
