Verse
G Am
It started as a bet
Bm
The story of a life
C
Part engineered to fit the scenery
G Am
He'd loved a racist once
Bm
She kept a tidy house
C G
It must have paid much better in the seventies
Am
Back then you could be gay
Bm
But in a manly way
C
He held no truck with water pistols
G Am
Alternative lifestyles
Bm
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]
Am C
Softly - suddenly
[verse 2]
G Am
She'd started as an eight
Bm
Then sunk into a ten
C
He put it down to carbon dating
G Am
Their daughter had his laugh
Bm
But not his smoker's cough
C G
It must have been the lack of tar in heroin
Am
She took herself to Wales
Bm
Excelled in telesales
C
Cold-calling deep into the evening
G Am
Her second husband came
Bm
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]
Am C
Softly - suddenly
[bridge]
G
I gratefully accept this black eye
G
No one knows as well as me
Am C
The value of consequences
G
Do to others as you would have
G Am
Done to you especially if in doing so
C
You find new takers
C
