D6
Even though you think
D6
to push me from the bath into the sink
G
I can still get clean
E7
from everything obscene
D6
So just pass me the soap
D6
and I will scrub so hard to have the hope
G
that one day I'll be free
E7
and flies won't follow me
Bm
But if the bath is black
G
and the soap is old
Bm G
you're turning the hot tap but the water is cold
Bm
try as you might
G G Em
E A7
everything you've prayed for won't be done until you've paid for all your hours
A7
and you're not coming home to
D6
All this mess undressed
D6
I'll put you to the test just try your best
G
Put your apron on
E7
I feel it's been too long
D6
Since you last made me laugh
D6
instead my hands have stuck to you with tar
G
and I can't get them off
E7
I leave prints on the clock
Bm
But if the bath is black
G
and the soap is old
Bm G
you're turning the hot tap but the water is cold
Bm
try as you might
G G Em
E A7
everything you've prayed for won't be done until you've paid for all your hours
A7
and you're not coming home
G
tonight
Em
you're not coming home
G
tonight
Em
you're not coming home

G
Cause if the bath is black and the soap is old
Em
You're turning the hot tap but the water is cold

Em

Bm
But if the bath is black
G
and the soap is old

you're turning the hot tap but the water is cold

try as you might
