     I woke up this morning
             G       D            Em
To find that we have outlived the myth of trust
Em
You woke up this morning
       G           D
To the fact we've lost the things
            Em
We took for granted between us
G                    D           Em
Because I grew up in awe of the girl next door
        G        D     Em
And the boy that never cried
          G                 D
And I was dreaming of those Elizabethan girls
               Bm
While you were working in the market
C
To earn ourselves
             Em                      G
And when you found out what happened yesterday
      D                     Em
While you were away in this land of Cain
Em
We were upstairs in the bedroom
G
Dancing disgusting
    D                   Em
And flushing our babies down the drain
        G                D           Em
And the apple that don't want to get eaten
     G        D        Em
Will still fall off the tree
           G              D
When you're in as deep as we are honey
        Bm                     C
It's so easy to get washed out to sea
  Em                         G
For the facts of life are not man and wife
    D              Em
But Man and Woman sadly
        G                D
And the apple that don't want to get eaten
     Bm                 C     Em
Will still fall off the tree
