[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
She’s screaming into his collar
C G Am
Beating him on the chest
D
He’s showing her no emotion
C G
Their love’s put to the test
G
He thinks that he makes her happy
C G Am
By simply being there
D
As the silences get longer
C G
The more she pulls her hair
[Chorus]
Em G A
Love can be damaged by silence
C G D
Tied to a ball and chain
Em G A
Love can be driven to violence
C G D
From what once seemed so tame
C G A
Wearing his dinner this evening
C D G
Jolly comes home a-gain
[Verse 2]
G
The mule’s sitting by the fire
C G Am
The house at his con-trol
D
He hops around the channels
C G
His eyes on film pa-trol
G
She’s driven from her senses
C G Am
Her mundane life e-rupts
D
She leaps out of the sofa
C G
And jumps upon her love
[Chorus]
Em G A
Love can be damaged by silence
C G D
Tied to a ball and chain
Em G A
Love can be driven to violence
C G D
From what once seemed so tame
C G A
Wearing his dinner this evening
C D G
Jolly comes home a-gain
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G
The room was all dark and quiet
C G Am
In bed they're side by side
D
There in the small of her back
C G
An olive branch to-night
He wants to say that he’s sorry
C G Am
She wants to make him beg
D
For all the pain she’s suffered
G C D
In her heart and in her head
[Chorus]
Em G A
Love can be damaged by silence
C G D
Tied to a ball and chain
Em G A
Love can be driven to violence
C G D
From what once seemed so tame
C G A
Wearing his dinner this evening
C D G
Jolly comes home a-gain
C G A
Wearing his dinner this evening
C D G
Jolly comes home a-gain
[Outro]
C G A
Wearing his dinner this evening...
C D G
Jolly comes home a-gain
