A             E              
She left the friends she had in 
    F#m
school
         C#m              D
Slipped into the typing pool
         E                A    
Gave herself up to dictation
F#m  D  E

A       E              F#m
Barely sixteen years of age
        C#m             D
Taking home a working wage
        E                A
An envelope of expectation
D         E
He was older
F#m           A
He had a car
D                E
The things he told her

F#m        D         E
Made her feel the part
A            E                F#m
She took a test when she was late
       C#m             D
Moved into the new estate

         E                   A
Fingers wag behind the curtains
E                           F#m
She started out with intentions
C#m                            F#m
But life's demands were unrelenting
D                          E
To say that words are impotent
D                    E           
Is a mouthful in itself, but it 
C#m      F#m
fits the bill
D                        E
Resorting to a family phrase
          F#m  D   E
Just grin and bear it
          F#m  D   E    A
Just grin and bear it
A             E                 F#m
She cut her hair and stayed at home
            C#m          D
Did the shopping on her own
      E                      A    
Subsidized by half price tokens
F#m  D  E

A            E                   F#m
Consoled herself with books on love
            C#m                D
Damp creeps in on the walls above
              E               
The shower works when it's not 
     A
broken
D        E
He put paid
F#m          A
To her trust
D        E
Having fun
      F#m       D        E
With boys and toys of lust

A                E           F#m
And now she's better on her own
           C#m               D
With the soaps and woman's own
           E              A    
It's been an adult education
F#m  D  E

A           E                 F#m
And he reflects on what he's lost
         C#m              D
Took a gamble, paid the cost
           E           D  E   C#m
Sees the kids at graduations
  F#m

D                      E
Resorting to a family phrase

          F#m  D   E
Just grin and bear it
Just grin and bear it
Just grin and bear it

          F#m  D   E   F#m
Just grin and bear it
