Behind Closed Doors chords by The Strypes

Chords with lyrics

C majorC
It's a national crisis
Your dependence on vices
G+G
I'm amazed at your resilience
To laugh at the other drunken millions
C majorC
When the clothes you've worn to work today
Are speckled with sick and beaujolais
G+G
Hit with the hammer of hard home truths
There's only one thing that's left to do

C majorC
Put your plans on the long finger
E minorEm                       A minorAm
Leave your wife promise the kids you'll see them
             G+G
But they know that's just feeble optimism
   C majorC
You'd like to think you'd have kept in touch
E minorEm                 A minorAm
Some consideration for someone you love
            G+G
But you were never very into altruism

C majorC   A minorAm   G+G          C majorC
Behind closed doors, decisions are made
    A minorAm   G+G
Behind closed doors

Solo: C majorC G+G

C majorC
Become disenchanted and get your own place
Maudlin in private the tears fall with grace
G+G
On damp sheets that smell of dual pack lenore
And the cigarette ash from the night before
C majorC
A augmentedA threadbare sofa out in the street
The crumblin' bus station couldn't be more bleak
G+G
An old man and his dog just sit and talk
You have to wonder who's taking who for a walk

C majorC
Put your plans on the long finger
E minorEm             E MajorE          A minorAm
Leave your wife promise the kids you'll see them
             G+G
But they know that's just feeble optimism
   C majorC
You'd like to think you'd have kept in touch
E minorEm           E MajorE      A minorAm
Some consideration for someone you love
            G+G
But you were never very into altruism

C majorC   A minorAm   G+G          C majorC
Behind closed doors, decisions are made
    A minorAm   G+G                 C majorC
Behind closed doors, you never know what goes on

Solo: C majorC G+G C majorC G+G

C majorC
There's no recourse to be taken here
The ignored phone calls have made it clear
G+G
They're better off without you in every way
You pass in the street but there's nothing to say
C majorC
There comes a time when you have to decide
Do you put your family before your pride
G+G
You'd rather see them happy in their own way
Than miserable with you for another day

C majorC   A minorAm   G+G          C majorC
Behind closed doors, decisions are made
    A minorAm   G+G
Behind closed doors
C majorC   A minorAm   G+G          C majorC
Behind closed doors, decisions are made
    A minorAm   G+G                 C majorC
Behind closed doors, you never know what goes on

Solo: C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
