Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Am][D]
[G][Em][Am][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]The walls closin'
around you and he [Em]won't be home tonight
He's [Am]out somewhere and gamblin'
and per[D]haps he's in a fight
And yes [G]you know about the woman,
and you [Em]know there's three or four
Per[Am]haps he's out there laughin' now
and dan[D]cin' 'round the floor
And yes [G]you try to make the best of it,
which [Em]isn't much I know
[Am]You thought you've had your fill of it,
[D]you see that it wasn't so, [G]oh
No
[Em][Am]

[Verse 2]
[D]
Now your ba[G]bies are sleepin' soundly
and you [Em]hang your head and think
He [Am]damn near broke your nose last
night [D]and hardly does he drink
And as [G]the wind blows at the windows
and the [Em]clouds go by the moon
[Am]The walls closin' around you and your
sad[D]ness still's around
And yet you [G]try to make the best of it,
which [Em]isn't much I know
[Am]You thought you've had your fill of it,
but you [D]see that it wasn't so, [G]oh
No, [Em]oh n[Am]o

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][Em][Am]
[D][G][Em]
[Am][D]

[Verse 3]
You know [G]you make your own decisions
and you [Em]live the life you choose
I [Am]watch it from the sidelines and it [D]sure
gives me the blues
You know you're [G]sure to find me waiting,
should you [Em]ever come around
I [Am]am the one who loves you while
he [D]drives you further down
And yes [G]you try to make the best of it,
which [Em]isn't much I know
[Am]You thought you've had your fill of it,
but you [D]see that it wasn't so, [G]oh
[Em]No, no babe
