[Intro]
| Bm | F#m |
[Verse 1]
G A Bm
With the money from her accident
G D
She bought herself a mobile home
A/C# A G
So at least she could get some enjoyment
Bm
Out of being alone
A G D
No one could say that she was left up on the shelf
A
It's you and me against the World kid she mumbled to
herself
[Chorus]
Em G D A Em G
D
Bm Em G D A Bm
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
A G A Bm
Levi Stubbs' tears run down his face
[Verse 2]
F#m Bm G D
She ran away from home in her mother's best coat
A/C# A G Bm
She was married before she was even entitled to vote
A G D
And her husband was one of those blokes
A Bm
The sort that only laughs at his own jokes
G D
The sort a war takes away
A
And when there wasn't a war he left anyway
[Chorus]
Em G D A Em G
D
Bm Em G D A Bm
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
A G A Bm
Levi Stubbs' tears run down his face
[Bridge]
G D F#m A
Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong
G D F#m A
Are here to make everything right that's wrong
G D F#m A
Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too
A
Are here to make it all okay with you
[Verse 3]
Bm G D
And one dark night he came home from the sea
A/C# A G Bm
And put a hole in her body where no hole should be
A G D
It hurt her more to see him walking out the door
A
And though they stitched her back together they left her
Bm
heart in pieces on the floor
[Chorus]
A G A Bm
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
A G A
She takes off the Four Tops tape and puts it back in
Bm
its case
A G A Bm
When the world falls apart some things stay in place
A G A Bm A
Levi Stubbs' tears
