Tonalité : D major
Verse 1
D
The pre -recorded message
said she's 16th in line
To talk to the doctor for the
second time today
G
The appointments are all taken,
understaffed and underpaid
A
But that's not the only problem
D
she's got on her mind today
Her oldest daughter has retreated
inside herself again
Glued to the screen, terrified of everything
G
She wrapped up a double shift at 2am
A
And then a three -year -old that she loved
D
so much woke her up at dawn again
And all the birds were singing when
they sat down to eat
Breakfast from the food bank,
seven days a week
G
Outside the window,
a magpie lands on a fence
A
And for a split second of beauty,
D
she forgets about the rent
And she thinks,
G
A
D
how much does it cost to live a good life?
G
A
How much is the cost of living
D
gonna rise?
That second passes quickly,
and now she's washing up
Worrying about how old the
bills are stacking up
G
But she can't think about
that right now
She's gotta get the kids to school
A
And then run round to her mum's house
D
To be sure she took her pill
Not that they're ever
gonna stop the cancer
But it's the only way that she knows
To show her that she loves her
G
She thinks back to the family shop
When she was a little kid
A
Sat in the seat of a
Tesco trolley
D
With food piled high for the week
G
A
And she thinks, how much does it cost
D
To live a good life?
G
A
How much is the cost of
D
living gonna ride?
She gets on with her ex -boyfriend
But he drives her crazy
Certified
Sparky who got treated like a baby and
G
there's no joy left in the building site
Now manager's orders,
A
D
he kind of died inside and became a slave to boredom
She set up shop in the
shadow of a student loan
A teaching qualification she
achieved all on her own
G
Just to find out that the salary
of a teacher's assistant
A
Was less than she was earning pulling
D
pints down at the fountain
And she thinks,
G
A
D
how much does it cost to live a good life?
G
A
How much is the cost of
D
living gonna rise?
G
A
D
How much does it cost to live a good life
G
A
How much is the cost of
D
living gonna rise
The kids are snuggled up in bed and
she's reading them a story
About what's really important,
about hope and glory
G
About sharing your toys
About right and wrong
A
And she wonders if there are
lessons we are ever gonna learn
