She pushed the baby to the methadone clinic
Left the pram by the Chinese takeaway
Stepped inside and felt nothing
Stepped outside to face the price you pay
Chorus:
BDE
How you gonna stand it
How you gonna stand it
DE
Stand it
Stand it
ADEA
Jesus was the sacred son
Said he was the only one
DEF#
They nailed him to a rugged cross
DEA (play riff above)
And I heard my darling lost her innocence
They cut the cancer from his skin
He took it home in a little jar
And tasted it, wondered what it was
Though he could never think too hard
He got a book and put a song inside
A heavy metal song he called 'The Bet'
All about alcoholic people
Ordinary people out of their heads
_____________
Repeat Chorus
_____________
EF#
She was huge, He was a runt
D
He knocked her down
E
He kicked her hard
F#
He called her a useless cunt
E
He kneeled beside her
F#
She kissed him by surprise
D
She said all the fear inside your heart won't
E
Bring tears to my eye eye eye
F#D
eyes, whoa whoa whoa
EA5(heavy)
I won't cry for you no more
A5
They're selling fish & chips for just one buck
Cut your veins don't be sensitive
D5
You walk Cleveland looking for a fuck
B5A (riff)
Jump the tracks and see how we live
Cars collide and buildings rise
You sit back and draw the curtins
Cause you can't see tears in her eyes
You just think nobodys hurt
_____________
Repeat Chorus

DEF#
You know Les Darcy died without a friend
DEF#
Bradmans lost the toss again
DEF#
Ellwyn Walters pulled his hamstring again
DEF#
And I can't pay the rent my friend
DEF#
And the kids don't know whats happenning
And the kids don't know whats happenning
And the kids don't know whats happenning
DEA (riff)
And the kids don't know

Are you gonna stand it
Are you gonna stand it
