INTRO: D6

D6
Even though you think
          D6
to push me from the bath into the sink
        G
I can still get clean
        E7
from everything obscene

D6
So just pass me the soap
           D6
and I will scrub so hard to have the hope
           G
that one day I'll be free
            E7
and flies won't follow me

Bm
But if the bath is black
    G
and the soap is old
    Bm             G
you're turning the hot tap but the water is cold
Bm
try as you might
G         G          Em
E         A7
everything you've prayed for won't be done until you've paid for all your hours
  A7
and you're not coming home to

D6
All this mess undressed
          D6
I'll put you to the test just try your best
        G
Put your apron on
           E7
I feel it's been too long

D6
Since you last made me laugh
            D6
instead my hands have stuck to you with tar
           G
and I can't get them off
           E7
I leave prints on the clock

Bm
But if the bath is black
    G
and the soap is old
    Bm             G
you're turning the hot tap but the water is cold
Bm
try as you might
G         G          Em
E         A7
everything you've prayed for won't be done until you've paid for all your hours
  A7
and you're not coming home

G
tonight
         Em
you're not coming home
G
tonight
         Em
you're not coming home

---------------------------------------------------------
  G
to all this mess undressed

G
Cause if the bath is black and the soap is old
    Em
You're turning the hot tap but the water is cold
G

Em
try as you might everything

Bm
But if the bath is black
    G
