INTRO: C
Em She looks at the clock, it's a quarter past nine Am F G She hears his car as he pulls in the drive C Em Dinner's still waiting from hours before D7 G She knows he's been drinking when he walks through the door Dm7 G In anger he strikes out and she starts to cry Dm7 G How much more can she take, how much more can she lie
CHORUS:
C F G And she fell down the stairs again Am Em F G But it hasn't happened since she don't know when F G Was it in spring when she packed up the kids Dm7 G Or maybe in winter with his job on the skids Am Em F Oh, but just like before she'll have to pretend Dm7 G C That she fell down the stairs again Em A short time ago, she started a job Am F G Serving chicken fried steak and corn on the cob C Em She started out shy, but she ended up sure D7 G That a ticket to anywhere could be the cure Dm7 G But he couldn't handle her change for the better Dm7 G She tried to leave him, but he wouldn't let her
BRIDGE:
F G He says he's sorry, he didn't mean it C Em Am C He swears it won't happen again F G But she's so confused, she wants to believe it Dm7 G She just wants this nightmare to end
CHORUS:
C F G And she fell down the stairs again Am Em F G But it hasn't happened since she don't know when F G Was it in spring when she packed up the kids Dm7 G Or maybe in winter with his job on the skids Am Em F Oh, but just like before she'll have to pretend Dm7 G C That she fell down the stairs again Am Em F Just like before she'll have to pretend Dm7 G C That she fell down the stairs again
