Verse 1

D
  She's getting older
Bm7
  Yeah, she's getting wise
D
  But a change has changed the girl
Bm7
  Gone's the sparkle from her eyes

Pre-Chorus

G                          A    A  Ab
  She wants to be a good mother
G                        A      A  Ab
  So she'll do the best she can
G      A
  But what about the other
A
What about the man

Chorus

      D      D/C#     Bm7   Bm7/A
It's cold to leave a woman
       G            A    Ab
With family on her own
G                A
  It's chill factor
D           Dsus4  D
To the bone

Verse 2

D
  Resignation
Bm7
  In her sighs
D
  Is a sorry indication
Bm7
  Of how time can brutalise

Pre-Chorus

G                A   A  Ab
  Take away the hope
G          A              A  Ab
  And the will will follow
G   A
   Take away the faith
A
  And goodbye tomorrow

Chorus

      D      D/C#     Bm7   Bm7/A
It's cold to leave a woman
       G            A    Ab
With family on her own
G                A
  It's chill factor
D           Dsus4  D
To the bone

Bridge

G
   She had her dreams too
Bdim
   But how can she pursue
       D                              D7
Her ambitions, be they great or small
G
  You took her wings and flew
Bdim
  But remember when you're through
 E
Your rise was due
                    A  A7
To somebody else's fall

Verse 3

D
  When the hard part's over
Bm7
  And the kids are almost grown
D  Dmaj7  D
         You'll be their big hero
Bm7
   Whenever you make it home

Pre-Chorus

G                     A     A  Ab
  Shower them with presents
G                         A  A  Ab
  Things she could never buy
G                          A
  Delight them with your stories
  A
About the great big, great big world outside
     A
But dig -
