[Verse 1]
[G]Now [Am]this is the deal
[D]An iron [Bm]will and nerves of [Em]steel
A silver [Am]tongue, a sterling [D]heart
A clear head [Bm]when the trouble [Em]starts
As love turns [Am]to fear
[D]She ventures [Bm]every time [Em]it's real
The mystery [Am]is all too real
[D]This is the dea[G]l
Here is [Am]the catch
[D]A man who's n[Bm]ev er made his ma[Em]tch
He swears his [Am]mind is always [D]right
He won't give up [Bm]without a [Em]fight
He can't hold [Am]his dream
[D]He never [Bm]even tries to think
[Em]The
Salvador [Am]is off the latch
[D]Here is the cat[G]ch
[F]Punch bag or [C]sleeping bag
[Cm]Is there any c[G]hoice?
[Am]She must pay attention
When she hears her master's [D]voice
[F]Though the kids are [C]sleeping with
[Cm]their fingers in their [G]ears
They [Am]recognize their father laughing
at their [D]mother's
Between [Am]the blows
[D]The blackened [Bm]eye, bloody [Em]nose
She tries to [Am]hold his shaking [D]hand
She [Bm]tries her best to un[G]derstand
[Em]Between the shee[Am]ts
[D]He makes demands, [Bm]she tries to leap[Em]
She turns the [Am]thought into a [D]rose
Between the [G]thoughts[Am][D][Bm][G][Em][Am][D]
[Bm][Em][Am][D][Bm][G][Em][Am]
[D][Bm][G]
[F]No second hon[C]eymoon,
[Cm]no seven year it[G]ch
[Am]Spend their anniversaries
face down in a [D]ditch
No [F]birthday celeb[G]ra [C]tions,
no [Cm]holiday each [G]year
[Am]No six -five
Christmas when he drowns himself in [D]beer
So this is [Am]the deal, a[D]nother day,
[Bm]another meal[Em]
Another [Am]night sat by the [D]phone,
I heard
[Bm]Celeste to be [Em]alone
Is this married [Am]life?[D]
What does it [Bm]take to be a [Em]wife?
A butterfly [Am]tied to a [D]wheel, this is the [G]deal
An iron [Am]will, nerves of steel,
[D]this is the dea[G]l
The mystery [Am]is all too r[D]eal,
this is the [Em]deal[C][Em][C][Em][C][Em][D][F#m][B][Em][C][Em]
