She lives        in a big white house
    Cm        Gm        Cm      Gm       Cm   Gm   Cm   Gm

    Bb
But he comes home one night, She kills him with a knife
Cm        Gm          Cm        Gm      Cm   Gm   Cm
She's the one who's a living in paradise

     Cm          Gm     Cm               Gm       Cm   Gm   Cm   Gm
In a room that's not so different to the one back there
    Bb
She turns her face to the light, she’s blinded by her life
Cm      Gm       Cm   Gm      Cm   Gm   Cm
You can hear her cry alone at night


[Chorus]
 Gm        Fm                  Gm        Ab            Bb

So have mercy on that woman you don't know the way it's been
Cm                 Gm     Cm   Gm        Cm   Gm   Cm   Gm
You don't know the trouble her eyes have seen
        Bb
Can you feel the kiss of life when you come home at night?
          Cm         Gm        Cm        Gm      Cm   Gm   Cm
Well, you better not turn your back on a paradise
