[Bm]   [F#m]   [G]   [A]

With the [Bm]money from her accident

She [A]bought herself a mobile [D]home   [D/C#]

So at [A]least she could get some enj[G]oyment

out of living [Bm]alone   [Bm]      [A]

No one could [G]say she was left upon the [D]shelf

Its [A]you and me against the world she mumble to herself

[C]   [G]    [D]   [A]     [C]   [G]     [D]    [B]

When the [C]world falls [G]apart [D]somethings [A]stay in [Bm]place  [Bm]     [A]

[G]Levis Stubbs [A]tears roll down his [Bm]face  [F#m]

She [Bm]ran away from home [A]in her mother's best [D]coat   [D/C#]
She was [A]married before she was [G]even entitled to [Bm]vote   [Bm]       [A]

And her [G]husband was one of those [D]blokes

The sort who [A]only laughs at his own [Bm]jokes

The [G]sort that a war takes [D]away

And when there [A]wasn't a war he left her anyway

omit [F#m])

[D]Norman [A]Whitfield and [G]Barratt [A]Strong

Are [D]here to make [A]right every[Bm]thing that's wrong

[D]Holland and [A]Holland and Lamont [G]Dozier [A]too

Are [A]here to make it okay with you

[Bm]One dark night he [A]came home from the [D]sea  [D/C#]

And put a [A]hole in her body, [G]where no hole should [Bm]be   [Bm]       [A]

It hurt her [G]more to see him walking out the [D]door

And though they [A]stiched her back together they left her heart in
pieces on the [Bm]floor   [Bm]      [A]

When the [G]world falls apart [A]somethings stay in [Bm]place  [Bm]     [A]

She takes [G]off the Four Tops tape
[A]and puts it back in its [Bm]case    [Bm]        [A]

When the [G]world falls apart [A]somethings stay in [Bm]plac[Bm]e    [A]
