Elliott Murphy – Hows The Family (Guitar)

A
How's the wife with the husband

C#m
Who doesn't understand

Bm
Why she starts to cry each morning

Dm
And the coldness in her hands

A
And the cold cold ballerina

C#m
Whose thoughts of love and life

Bm
Have split her down the middle

Dm
Till she's cracked like walked on ice

A
And the prince of fifteen years

C#m
With no roof over his life

Bm
Cause his parents don't know of his meaning

Dm
Or his needle and his knife

A            C#m    E
And how's the family

A        C#m    E
How's the family

A
How's the tired widowed grandmother

C#m
Who has lost half of her life

Bm
And the overweight aunt from nowhere

Dm
Who can cook but is no wife

A
And she thinks its so disgusting

C#m
About the movies that are made

Bm
And she sleeps with just a pillow

Dm
And a memory that fades

A
Of a husband who had tried

C#m
To do everything so right

Bm
Till his heart screamed and stopped beating

Dm
As he made love one last night

A             C#m    E
And how's the family

A        C#m     E
How's the family

A
How's the boy and the girl

C#m
And the lives that lie ahead

Bm
And from two they join as one

Dm
They say we'll love till we are dead

A
And the babies come and grow

C#m
And the mothers laugh and cry

Bm
And the men know who they're working for

Dm
And what's more they know why

A
Cause its happy to be said

C#m
When tears can laugh at pain

Bm
And if you love the thought of love

Dm
Your birth will never end 

A              C#m    E
And how's the family

A         C#m     E
How's the family
