[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
