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
