Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Closer than close you see yourself
A mirrored image of [C]what
you wanted to [Em]be
As each day goes by a little more
You can't remember what it [C]was
you [Am]wanted [Em]anywa[Am]y
The [Em]fin [Am]gers feel the [Em]lines
they prod the [Am]space[Em]
Your [Am]aging face the [C]face that
once was [D]so beautiful
[C]Is still there but un[D]recognizable
[Em]Private hell

[Verse 2]
[Em]
The man who you once loved
is bald and fat
And seldom in [C]working late as [Em]usu al
Your interest [Am]has waned
you feel the strain
The bed springs [Em]snap [Am]on the oc
[C]casions he lies [D]upon you
[C]Close your eyes and [D]think
of nothing [Em]but
Private hell

[Verse 3]
[G]Think of [C]Emma wonder
[G]what she's do[C]ing
Her [G]husband [C]terry and [G]your
grand[Am]children
Think of Ed[Bm]ward [Am]who's still
at col[Bm]lege
[Am]You send him [Bm]let ters [Em]which he
[Am]doesn't acknowledge
[Em]cause he don't care
They don't care
cause they're [C]all going through
their [D]own [Em]private hell

[Interlude 1]
[Em]

[Verse 4]
The [Em]morning slips away in a Valium haze
And catalogs and [C]numerous
cups [Am]of coff[Em]ee[Am]
[Em]In the afternoon the weekly food
Is put in bags as [C]you float off
down the high [Em]street

[Verse 5]
[Em]The shop [Am]windows [Em]reflect
play a [Am]nameless [Em]host
To a closet [Am]ghost a pic
[C]ture of your [D]fantasy
A [C]victim of [D]your misery [Em]and private hell

[Interlude 2]
[Am][Bm][Em][Am][Em][Am][Em]
[C][D][Em]

[Verse 6]
[Em]Alone at six o'clock you drop a cup
You see it smash inside you crack
You can't go on but
[C]you sweep [D]it [Em]up[C]

[Verse 7]
Safe at [D]last inside [Em]your private hell
[Am]San [C]ity at l[D]ast inside y[Em]our private hell

[Outro 1]
[Em]
