CAPO 1st FRET
G
He’s a charmer, He’s a really nice bloke
C
Charasmatic and appealing, but he wears it like a cloak,
D C G
Coz when he’s out in public he’s just the perfect man but he’s a sham
G
His trophy Wife of 15 years, who always wore a smile,
C
She’s gorgeous and attentive, always kitted in style,
D C
But when she’s home alone with him, she takes all his anger for an
G
easy life
Chorus
D C G
What can you do when your life slips away like sand.
D C G
What can you do except to fight and make a stand
D C G
You can’t reason with the Devil, he’s a poor excuse for a man.
G
What can you say, what can you do, when she won’t say a word
C
When as far as she’s concerned, these things never have occurred
D C
She wears her silence like a shield, and lives her life in fear
G
Well that’s no life
G
Her family can’t get close to her, he ties her up like rope,
C
He keeps them all at arm’s length to suffocate her hope
D C G
He will batter and abuse her and tell her it’s her fault and she’ll agree
Chorus
D C G
What can you do when your life slips away like sand.
D C G
What can you do except to fight and make a stand
D C G
You can’t reason with the Devil, he’s a poor excuse for a man.
G
Well after fifteen years of hell, she left and got away,
C
And she’s coping with the children, but she’s dreading everyday,
D C
That he will come and find her, and torture her some more,
G
But he’s too late
G
See now she’s found the courage and he’s paying for his crimes
C
She’s winning in her battle one day at a time,
D C
She won’t be pushed she won’t be pulled and this is just the start of
G
her new life
Chorus and Outro
D C G
What can you do when your life slips away like sand.
D C G
What can you do except to fight and make a stand
D C G
You can’t reason with the Devil, he’s a poor excuse for a man.
D C G
See what she did that day she learnt, she learnt to kick and fight
D C G
She got the help she needed from her family, when they realised her
plight
D (1STRUM) C (1STRUM) G (1STRUM) But the thing that really done it was.... She realised he’s no man
