Bb
You know your problem
You keep it all in
You know your problem
You keep it all in

Bb
That's right
    Gm           F           Bm
The conversation we had last night
     Gm           F
When all I wanted to do was
Dm        C      Bb
Knife you in the heart
              F
I kept it all in

You know your problem
You keep it all in
You know your problem
You keep it all in

Midnight, a husband getting ready to fight
A daughter sleeps alone with the light
Turned on, she hears but
Keeps it all in

[Chorus]
               Gm        F       Bb
Just like that murder in seventy-three
               Gm         F     Bm
Just like that robbery in sixty-two
               Gm               F           Bm
With all these things that have happened to me
              Fm
I kept it all in
N/C
Why do you keep on telling me now
[end Chorus]

You know your problem
You keep it all in
You know your problem
You keep it all in

That's sweet
That conversation we had last week
When you gagged and bound me up to my seat
You're right, I do
I keep it all in

[Chorus]

F             C                  Bb           C
He was just a social drinker but social every night
F    C               Bb              C
He enjoyed a pint or two or three or four
F              C               Bb           C
She was just a silent thinker, silent every night
F    C                      Bb          C
He'd enjoyed the thought of killing her before

Well he was very rarely drunk but very rarely sober
And he didn't think the problem was his drink
But he only knew his problem when he knocked her over
And when the rotting flesh began to stink

[Chorus]
Cry freedom for the woman in the wall
Cry freedom for she has no voice at all

  F        C       Dm       Bb
I hear her cry all day, all night
  F        C          Dm              Bb
I hear her voice from deep within the wall
       F                   C
Made a cross from knitting needles
       Dm                Bb
Made a grave from hoover bags
  F                C            F
Especially for the woman in the wall
[end Chorus]

She'd knitted him a jumper with dominoes on
So he wore it everyday in every week
Pretended to himself that she hadn't really gone
Pretended that he thought he heard her speak

Then at last it seemed that he was really winning
He felt that he had some sort of grip
But all of his new life was sent a-spinning
When the rotting wall began to drip

[Chorus]

F# G#m E B Gb

        F#             G#m        E       B      Gb
There's no more little secrets we haven't yet disclosed
   F#              G#m          E  B       Gb
We bore the living daylights of anyone too close
    F#               G#m           E       B
And all our cards at Christmas are written to us both
F#         G#m E     B       F#
Count them up  who's got the most?

             F#
Said we'd be close
               F#
Said we'd work perfectly

Beautiful company

Closer than a sister to her baby brother

Closer than a cat to the child that she'll smother

It's too close for a lover

It's too close for a lover

We are each other
E  B        F#
We are each other

G#m E B F#

We've been through all positions and this one's definitely best
You move Middle East and I'll move Wild West
What happened to our friendship we could easily have guessed
Add it up we're self-possessed

Said we'd be true
Said we'd be so so proud
Just me and you
We'd shout it out aloud

Closer than a sister to her baby brother
Closer than a cat to the child that she'll smother
It's too close for a lover
It's too close for a lover
We are each other
We are each other

N/C
Remember we went shopping and we went by piggyback
I shaved all my legs and you grew hairs upon your back
Well no-one's ever been since to this lovers' shack
It's a cul-de-sac

Said we'd be close
Said we'd work perfectly
Said that we'd toast
Beautiful company

Said we'd be true
Said we'd be so so proud
Just me and you
We'd shout it out aloud

Closer than a sister to her baby brother
Closer than a secret agent working undercover
It's too close for a lover
It's too close for a lover
We are each other
We are each other

A    C#m/G# D/F#     E

Here I walk, here I walk

  F#m                   E/G#                  D/F# E

Loooking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk



A   C#m/G# D/F#   E

Here I am, here I am

        F#m                   E/G#            D/F# E

With a choice between an also ran and a sunbed tan



           A                               C#m/G#

And you thought you'd found your own little look

  B/F#              E

How I misjuged, how I mistook

           A                                 C#m/G#

And you thought you'd found the style of your hair

  D/F#                E         D/F#             E

I guess tonight I'll take, I'll take my troubles to

       A

The rocking chair



A       B/F#                     E     E7

So I'll take these high heeled shoes

A       B/F#                          E     E7

And yes I'll take these traditional views

     F#m               E         A           C#m/G#

I'll take this deep despair of a 30 year old square

         F#m

To the rocking chair



A    C#m/G# D/F#    E

Here I sit, here I sit

  F#m                 E/G#                   D/F# E

Looking for a warming smile in a house of cold wit

A     C#m/G# D/F#      E

Here I stand, here I stand

F#m                      E/G#              D/F# E

Torn between the balding drunk and no man's land



             A/F#                            C#m/G#

And they'll tell you when you've reached your peak

          B/F#                           E

Where the wulf-whistle rung there's a deafening shriek

   A                  C#m/G#

Blowing kisses into the air

  D/F#                E         D/F#                E

I guess tonight I'll take, I'll take these troubles to

       A

The rocking chair



A       B/F#                 E     E7

So I'll take these awkward stance

A        B/F#                E     E7

And I'll take this sexless dance

     F#m               E         A           C#m/G#

I'll take this deep despair of a 30 year old square

        F#m

To the rocking chair

    A                   C#m/G#

Am I skinny? A shade too fat?

       D/F#                      E

Mmmm... My friend the cat knows all about that

    A

Am I happy?



(Here I sit, here I sit)

             C#m/G#

Just a little sad



(Looking for a warming smile in the house of cold wit)

       D/F#                      E

Mmmm... My friend the cat knows all about that

    A

Am I skinny?



(Here I walk, here I walk)

           C#m/G#

A shade too fat?



(Loooking for an angel's wings in the den of the hawk)

D/F#                     E

My friend the cat knows all about that

C#m         F#m             D             E

I Love you from the bottom, of my pencil case

C#m       F#m             D           E

I love you in the songs, I write and sing



           F#m         D                       E

Love you because, you put me in the rightful place

C#m            F#m        D           E

And I love the PRS checks, that you bring



  A            E

Cheap, never cheap

      Bm                    E

I'll sing the songs 'till you're asleep

 E                F#m

When you've gone upstairs I'll creep

      D           E

And write it all down



      A          F#m         D        E

Oh Shirley, Oh Deborah, Oh Julie, Oh Jane

                 F#m 

I wrote so many songs about you

D              E

I forget your name (I forget you name)

I love the way you never ask me why

                 F#m          D             E

I love to write about each wrinkle on your face

C#m             F#m             D          E

And I love you 'till my fountain pen runs dry



 A       E

Deep so deep,

     Bm        E

The number one I hope to reap

  C#m             F#m

Depends upon the tears you weap,

    D          E

So cry lovely cry, cry



     A        F#m          D          E

Oh Cathy, Oh Alison, Oh Philippa, Oh Sue

Turned her grief into glory
