[verse 1]
C G D/F#
Well it's so easy to be witty in retrospect
Dm/F C/E
When you're out of door you pause a moment to reflect
G A7
On all the crushing one-liners that you should have said
C C/D
But you always were reduced to angry words instead
[chorus]
G D/F# Em G/D
Fighting talk on...the stairs
C G/B Am D
Is enough to show who never cared
G D/F# Em G/D
Fighting talk, who will be spared
C G/B Am D
The abuse that's always hurled as you curse
Em D
and swear
[verse 2]
G D/F#
But it's so cruel how the moment can let you down
Dm/F C/E G
And how eloquence deserts when you find yourself on sensitive ground
G A7
You slam the door and turn the catch
C C/D
You turned your home into a prison conversation into a slanging match
[chorus]
G D/F# Em G/D
Fighting talk on...the stairs
C G/B Am D
Is enough to show who never cared
G D/F# Em G/D
Fighting talk, who will be spared
C G/B Am D
The abuse that's always hurled as you curse
G G7
and swear
[interlude]
Cmaj7 Cm
But oh my love I'm sick and tired
B7 Em
Of all the cruelty love's acquired
A7
We never more need come to harm
C D
If you lay your head here on my faithless
G D/F# Em G/D
arm.................
C G/B Am D

[chorus]
G D/F# Em G/D
Fighting talk on...the stairs
C G/B Am D

Fighting talk, who will be spared

The abuse that's always hurled as you curse and..
