   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


Outro:
