Intro
VERSE 1
With the money from her accident
She bought herself a mobile home
So at least she could get some enjoyment
out of living alone
No one could say she was left upon the shelf
Its you and me against the world she mumble to herself
CHORUS
When the world falls apart somethings stay in place
Levis Stubbs tears roll down his face
VERSE 2
She ran away from home in her mother's best coat She was married before she was even entitled to vote
And her husband was one of those blokes
The sort who only laughs at his own jokes
The sort that a war takes away
And when there wasn't a war he left her anyway
CHORUS (omit F#m)
BRIDGE
Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong
Are here to make right everything that's wrong
Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too
A (hold) Are here to make it okay with you
VERSE 3
One dark night he came home from the sea
And put a hole in her body, where no hole should be
It hurt her more to see him walking out the door
And though they stiched her back together they left her heart in pieces on the floor
When the world falls apart somethings stay in place
She takes off the Four Tops tape and puts it back in its case
When the world falls apart somethings stay in place
Levis Stubbs tears
Fade on G A Bm A
