_ _ _ _ _ _ _
This is a song _ by Neil Kinnock's publicity officer
_ This _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ song is for men who think they are smart enough to beat up their wives _
_ With _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
the money from the wrestling she bought herself a mobile _ _ home _ _
So at least she could get some enjoyment out of being alone _ _ _ _ _
_ No one could say she was left up on herself
It's you and me against the world, kid
She [Bm] mumbled to herself, [Em] my friend
[D] _ _ _
_ [F] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [E] _ When the [D] world falls _ apart and something [E] stays [B] in place _
[E] [B] And _ _ _ _ [G] Levi stops [A] his [D] run [B] down his face
[D] She [F#] _ _ _ [Bm] ran away from _ [G] home in her mother's bedsore
_ _ _ _ She _ _ _ _ [F] was married before even [Bm] time was _ appropriate _ _
[G] And her husband was one of those _ [Am] blokes
That died a hard life in his own [G] _
jokes
The thought of what it takes [D] to be here
[A] If there wasn't a war, you're [D] left anyway [Em] now
[D] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ When the [D] world falls apart and [E] something stays [B] in place _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] And Levi stops his [A] _ [B] run [B] down his face
[Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] [D] I'm a [F#m] whistler, very strong
[G] _ [D] Here to make light [F#] of every little [A] thing that's wrong
[G] And [D] _ _
love my [Gm] dozy and [A] do it
Here [F#m] to make it okay with you
And [Bm] _ one [F#] day he'd [G] come home from the city
And _ _ _ he'd want to hurt a whole little body
_ _ When [Bm] no home is to be
[A] _ He [E] _ [G] was last seen [D] walking out the door
And all [E] these things go back together
[A] They left their heart in pieces [B] on the floor
_ _ [A] _ [Dm] When [G] the world falls [A] apart and something [B] stays in [Bm] place
I say something's in here
[D] When the world falls [A] apart
_ _ _ [B] And Levi [E] [B] stops his run
_ [G] When the world falls [A#] apart
[A] Something [B] stays in place
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [G] And Levi stops [F#m] his _ _ _ _ [D] _
run
_ _ [E] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _
_ [D] And Levi _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [A] _ stops _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ [D] _ _ [G] _
his run
And [Bm] Levi stops _ _ _ _ his _ _ run
[G] _ _ _ [F#] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
