She Stays Quiet

[Intro]
D Dmaj7 G
 
 
[Verse 1]
D                       Dmaj7   Bm                           Bm/A
He walks home alone and thinks about how his whole life has gone
     G             A
He's fucked it up again
             D  Dmaj7
It's all his fault
D                       Dmaj7
He knows that he has to tell
    Bm                              Bm/A
She probably knows, he might as well
     G               A                  D
It's all the same it probably saves him pain
 
 
[Chorus]
G                   A
First he cracks and then he splits
     Bm
He's stressed so now he can't resist
    Em            A                 D
The cigarettes he promised her he'd quit
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                    Dmaj7
He found the answers to the questions
Bm                               Bm/A  G
She don't ask they're bottled up in  - side his flask
      A          D   Dmaj7
So he empties it again
D                    Dmaj7
Smiles and waves she shoots a grin
    Bm                              Bm/A
She knows she's too mature for him
  G                A                  D
A simple shame she tames with sips of gin
 
 
[Chorus]
G                   A
First he cracks and then he splits
    Bm
His fingers smell of cigarettes
        Em                   A              D  Dmaj7
They're black with ash so he washes off his hands
 
G                A
She stays quiet, he don't think
    Bm
And pours himself another drink
     Em                              A
It's stronger than he'll ever be for her

[Chorus]
 
G                   A
First he cracks and then he splits
    Bm
His fingers smell of cigarettes
        Em                   A              D  Dmaj7
They're black with ash so he washes off his hands
 
G                A
She stays quiet, he don't think
    Bm
And pours himself another drink
     G                               A
It's stronger than he'll ever be for her
