Intro: Bm F#m G A
With the moneyBm from her accident
She bouGght herself a mobile home D D/C#
So at leaAst she could get some enjoyment G
Out of being alone Bm A
No one could say that Gshe was left up on the shelf D
"It's you and meA against the world, kid", she mumbled to herself
Bridge/chorus:
Em G* D* A* Em G* D* Bm*
Em G* D* A Bm
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
GLevi Stubbs' tears run dAown his face Bm F#m
She ran away fBmrom home in her mother'Gs best coat D D/C#
She was married Abefore she was even entitled to vote G Bm A
And her husbaGnd was one of those blokes D
The sort who only laugAhs at his own jokes Bm
The sort a war taGkes away D
And when there wasn't a waAr, he left anyway
(REPEAT BRIDGE/CHORUS)
G** D** F#m A
Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong
G** D** F#m A
Are here to make right everything that's wrong
G** D** F#m
Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too
Are herAe to make it all okay with you
And one dark night he came home from the sea
And put a hole in her body where no hole should be
It hurt her more to see him walking out the door
And though they stitched her back together
They left her heart in pieces on the floor
A When the world falls Gapart some things sAtay in place Bm A
She takes off theG Four Tops tape and puts it backA in its case Bm
When the world fAalls apart some things stay in place
Levi Stubbs' tears...
