 Songs of praise all very well

Their voices swell,
                         G
they tug at sadness like love
tugging at your sleeve

Is it worth the pain
                 Am
To walk into the void
       Am* Am/G*

Your present situation

And it's wide and it's broad
       C
Beyond all estimation

C
Is your belly fat,
is your man a twat?

Do in-growing hairs provide
         G

F
 In your darkest hour he
            C
 is the tiniest light
    B
The smallest of sparks
       Dm
He's a tinderbox
       C
He's a flaming torch
           Dm
Pinch your self quite hard
     C
In a place that hurts
      Dm
If it doesn't work
         C
Ask your friend to comply
            Dm
And if they hit the spot
        C
You can let yourself cry
             F
And when the teardrops stop,
                      E
I will take you for a drive
I'll explain all I know
          Am             G#    C

Life that's found beyond

So, state your destination
