Behind Closed Doors

C
It's a national crisis
Your dependence on vices
G
I'm amazed at your resilience
To laugh at the other drunken 
millions
C
When the clothes you've worn to work
 today
Are speckled with sick and 
beaujolais
G
Hit with the hammer of hard home 
truths
There's only one thing that's left 
to do

C
Put your plans on the long finger
Em                             
Leave your wife promise the kids 
                 Am
you'll see them
                          G
But they know that's just feeble 
optimism
      C
You'd like to think you'd have kept 
in touch
Em                                 
Some consideration for someone you 
Am
love
                        G
But you were never very into 
altruism

C      Am     G                  
Behind closed doors, decisions are 
  C
made
       Am     G
Behind closed doors

C
Become disenchanted and get your own
 place
Maudlin in private the tears fall 
with grace
G
On damp sheets that smell of dual 
pack lenore
And the cigarette ash from the night
 before
C
A threadbare sofa out in the street
The crumblin' bus station couldn't 
be more bleak
G
An old man and his dog just sit and 
talk
You have to wonder who's taking who 
for a walk

C
Put your plans on the long finger
Em                          E    
Leave your wife promise the kids 
               Am
you'll see them
                          G
But they know that's just feeble 
optimism
      C
You'd like to think you'd have kept 
in touch
Em                     E          
Some consideration for someone you
 Am
 love
                        G

Behind closed doors, decisions are 
  C
made
       Am     G                   
Behind closed doors, you never 
              C
know what goes on

C
There's no recourse to be taken here
The ignored phone calls have made it
 clear
G
They're better off without you in 
every way
You pass in the street but there's 
nothing to say
C
There comes a time when you have to 
decide
Do you put your family before your 
pride
G
You'd rather see them happy in their
 own way
Than miserable with you for another 
day

C      Am     G                  
Behind closed doors, decisions are 
  C
made
       Am     G
Behind closed doors
C      Am     G                  
Behind closed doors, decisions are 
  C
made
       Am     G                   
Behind closed doors, you never 
              C
know what goes on
