Tom: Bm
Bm F#m G A
[Verse 1]
Bm
With the money from her accident
G D A/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
It's you and me against the world she mumble to herself
[Chorus 1]
C* G* D* A* C* G* D* B*
C* G* D* A* Bm Bm A
When the world falls apart somethings stay in place
G A Bm F#m
Levis Stubbs tears roll down his face
[Verse 2]
Bm G D A/C#
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
[Chorus 1]
C* G* D* A* C* G* D* B*
C* G* D* A* Bm Bm A
When the world falls apart somethings stay in place
G A Bm
Levis Stubbs tears roll down his face
[Bridge]
G D F#m A
Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong
G D F#m A
Are here to make right everything that's wrong
G D F#m G
Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too
A
Are here to make it okay with you
[Verse 3]
Bm G D A/C#
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 Bm A
pieces on the floor
[Chorus 2]
G A Bm Bm A
When the world falls apart somethings stay in place
G
She takes off the Four Tops tape
A Bm Bm A
and puts it back in its case
G A Bm Bm A
When the world falls apart somethings stay in place
G A Bm Bm A
Levis Stubbs tears
