When Love For Woman Stops chords by Paul Heaton

Chords with lyrics

Capo 4!


D MajorD      A augmentedA      B minorBm    A augmentedA
She's almost 40 now and if life's fair.
   G minorGm          D MajorD     E MajorE        A augmentedA
 It won't have touched her face or touched her golden hair.
D MajorD        A augmentedA         B minorBm        A augmentedA
It won't have touched the way she used to speak my name
    G minorGm       D MajorD       E MajorE        A augmentedA
 like single rain drop doesn't really touch the window pane.

B minorBm       D MajorD   G minorGm        D MajorD
She's probably 50 now, no doubt she's changed.
E MajorE                      A augmentedA
 The wear and tear and doubt that lives arrange.
D MajorD       A augmentedA        B minorBm         A augmentedA
The wear and tear I know are there drives a girl insane.
     G minorGm      D MajorD        E MajorE       A augmentedA
The doubt of reaching out for love and getting beat again.

       E minorEm        A augmentedA    D MajorD
 There's no easy way of saying it. No easy way it's done.
     E minorEm         A augmentedA    D MajorD
The father you looked up to then, no longer loved your mum.
 E minorEm        A augmentedA       D MajorD  C#C#  B minorBm
 Call up social services, even call the cops.
G+G             G minorGm            D MajorD
 No man's ever gone to jail when love for woman stops.

D MajorD      A augmentedA      B minorBm    A augmentedA
She must be 60 now, well that route
   G minorGm     D MajorD     E MajorE       A augmentedA
Down lane of pure disdain from young and cute.
B minorBm       D MajorD   G minorGm        D MajorD
Rolling out red carpet promises and ringing wedding bells
E MajorE                      A augmentedA
Gives a special kind of tinnitus to a girl who knows too well.

       E minorEm        A augmentedA    D MajorD
 There's no easy way of saying it. No easy way it's done.
     E minorEm         A augmentedA    D MajorD
The father you looked up to then, no longer loved your mum.
 E minorEm        A augmentedA       D MajorD  C#C#  B minorBm
 Call up social services, even call the cops.
G+G             G minorGm            D MajorD
 No man's ever gone to jail when love for woman stops.

D MajorD      A augmentedA      B minorBm    A augmentedA
She's over 70 now. Way past her best.
   G minorGm          D MajorD     E MajorE        A augmentedA
 But the one who holds the key to love's treasure chest
B minorBm         D MajorD        G minorGm        D MajorD
doubtless has a younger flame to keep him warm at night.
E MajorE                      A augmentedA
 While this old one just flickers in the distant hope he might.

       E minorEm        A augmentedA    D MajorD
 There's no easy way of saying it. No easy way it's done.
     E minorEm         A augmentedA    D MajorD
The father you looked up to then, no longer loved your mum.
 E minorEm        A augmentedA       D MajorD  C#C#  B minorBm
 Call up social services, even call the cops.
G+G             G minorGm            D MajorD
 No man's ever gone to jail when love for woman stops.

D MajorD      A augmentedA      B minorBm    A augmentedA
 She's in her 80s now she's close to death
   G minorGm          D MajorD     E MajorE        A augmentedA
 and the one thing that won't let her down is final breath.
B minorBm         D MajorD      G minorGm        D MajorD
 So much more reliable than the absent heart of man.
E MajorE                      A augmentedA
Nothing quite as black and white as the checkered flag of end.

       E minorEm        A augmentedA    D MajorD
 There's no easy way of saying it. No easy way it's done.
     E minorEm         A augmentedA    D MajorD
The father you looked up to then, no longer loved your mum.
 E minorEm        A augmentedA       D MajorD  C#C#  B minorBm
 Call up social services, even call the cops.
G+G             G minorGm            D MajorD
 No man's ever gone to jail when love for woman stops.
