Private Hell Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Close or that close, you'll see yourself
A mirrored image of [C]what
you wanted to [Em]be
As each day goes by, a little more
You can't remember
what it [C]was you wanted any[Em]way
The fingers feel the lines,
they prod the space
Your raging face,
the [C]face that once was so [D]beautiful
[C]Is still there but un[D]recogniz[Em]able
Drive in hell, drive in hell
The man who you once
loved is bald and fat
And seldom in,
work[C]ing late as usu[Em]al
You're interested, Wayne,
you feel the strain
But a bedspread's slack,
on [Am]the occ[C]asion she lies u[D]pon you
[C]Close your eyes and [D]think of nothing
[Em]but private hell, private hell
[D]Think [Am]of E[G]mma,[C]
what [G]she's do[C]ing,
her [G]husband [C]Terry and
[G]your grandchil[C]dren
[Am]Think of [Bm]Edward,
who's [Am]still at college
[Bm]She'[B]d send[Am] him letters[Bm] that[B]
she [Am]doesn't acknow[Bm]ledge
[Em]He don't care, they don't care
Cause they're [C]all going
through their [D]own
[Em]Private hell, private [Am]hell[Em]
The morning slips away in a valley of haze
A cat to launch, a [C]numerous cup of cof[Em]fee
In the afternoon,
the weekly food is put in bags
As you [C]float off down the [Em]high street
The shop windows reflect
Play a nameless host to a closet ghost
A [C]picture of your [D]fantasy
A [C]victim of your [D]misery [Em]and
Private help
Private help
Think of Emma, wonder what she's doing
Her husband Terry and
your grandchildren
[Am]Think of [B]Edward who's [Am]still at col[Bm]lege
[B]Send [Am]him letters[Bm] which he
[Am]doesn't acknow[Bm]ledge
[Em]Cause he don't care
They don't care
Cause they're [C]all going
through their [D]own[Em]
Private Hell, Private Hell
Alone at six o 'clock, you drop a cup
You see it smash inside your clock
You can't go on but you're
sweeping [C]up
Sick and [D]lashed inside [Em]your Private Hell
[C]Sanity and [D]lust inside your [Em]Private Hell
[Am]San [C]ity and [D]lust inside
your [Em]Private Hell
Private Hell
Private Hell
Private Hell

[Outro 1]
