I've seen a couple request for this so I thought I'd put my two Cents worth in. Maybe not completely accurate, but it will give You a start. Most of the song is done using the bass strings and Muted, except where the Bm to A at the end of a measure is (listen To the song to see what I mean). The two string riff before and During the first part of the chorus will be denoted by two string Chords. They will be marked with a *. Feel free to correct as Need - especially the bridge.

Intro

Verse

With the money from her accident

She bought herself a mobile home

So at least she could get some enjoyment

Out of living alone

No one could say she was left upon the shelf

Its you and me against the world she mumble to herself

Chorus

C* G* D* A* C* G* D* B*

C* G* D* A* Bm Bm A When the world falls apart somethings stay in place

Levis Stubbs tears roll down his face

Verse

She ran away from home in her mother's best coat She was married before she was even entitled to vote

And her husband was one of those blokes

The sort who only laughs at his own jokes

The sort that a war takes away

And when there wasn't a war he left her anyway

Chorus

Bridge

Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong

Are here to make right everything that's wrong

Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too

Are here to make it okay with you

Verse

One dark night he came home from the sea

And put a hole in her body, where no hole should be

It hurt her more to see him walking out the door

And though they stiched her back together they left her heart in Pieces on the floor

When the world falls apart somethings stay in place

She takes off the Four Tops tape And puts it back in its case

When the world falls apart somethings stay in place

Levis Stubbs tears
