Verse
G# A#m
It started as a bet
Cm
The story of a life
C#
Part engineered to fit the scenery
G# A#m
He'd loved a racist once
Cm
She kept a tidy house
C# G#
It must have paid much better in the seventies
A#m
Back then you could be gay
Cm
But in a manly way
C#
He held no truck with water pistols
G# A#m
Alternative lifestyles
Cm
Were for the middle class
C# C#
At worst they could write poems about their misadventures
C# G#
No real man could envy them that
G#
[chorus]
A#m C#
Softly - suddenly
[verse 2]
G# A#m
She'd started as an eight
Cm
Then sunk into a ten
C#
He put it down to carbon dating
G# A#m
Their daughter had his laugh
Cm
But not his smoker's cough
C# G#
It must have been the lack of tar in heroin
A#m
She took herself to Wales
Cm
Excelled in telesales
C#
Cold-calling deep into the evening
G# A#m
Her second husband came
Cm
And left before the spring
C# C#
It must have been the season for unhappy drunks
C# G#
Her father had a similar trigger
G#
[chorus]
A#m C#
Softly - suddenly
[bridge]
G#
I gratefully accept this black eye
G#
No one knows as well as me
A#m C#
The value of consequences
G#
Do to others as you would have
G# A#m
Done to you especially if in doing so
C#
You find new takers
