...ROOM FOR THE LIFE... by Kate Bush
-----------------------.............

*from 'The Kick Inside' (1978)*


Intro:

G  Am7 (x3)

Verse 1:

D
 Hey there you,
G        A
 Lady in tears,
       G
Do you think,
          C
That they care,
           Em
If they're real,
D       D7
 Woman?
          G
They just take it,
   C           Em
As part of the deal.

Verse 2:

D             G
 Lost in your men,
And the games,
    A
You play,
G
 Trying to prove,
C            Em
 That you're better,
D       D7
 Woman.
        G
But you needn't,
    C     Em
Get heavy with them.

D           G
 Like it or not,
        A
We were built tough,
              D     D7
Because we're women.

Bridge 1:

G
 No, we never,
F        Em
 Die for long,
G
 While we've got,
            F
That little life,
   Cm7
To live for.
Where it's,
       G        F
Hid in-side, no,
         Am
We never die for long,
   Dm
Oh-woman, two in one.

Chorus 1:

        G
There's room,
      C
For a life,
        Em
In your womb,
D
 Woman.
G          C
 Inside of you,
       Em
Can be two,
D
 Woman.

        G
There's room,
      C
For a life,
        Em
In your womb,
D       G  C  D
 Woman...
D             G
 Mama woman-A-ha.

Interlude:

G  Am7 (x3)

Verse 3:

D            G 
 Night after night,
       A
In the quiet house,
G             C
 Plaiting her hair,
       Em
By the fire,
D       D7
 Woman.
        G
With no lover to,
C            Em
 Free her de-sire.

    D           G
How long do you think,
        A
She can stick it out?
    G           C
How long do you think,
       Em 
Before she'll go out,
D       D7
 Woman?
        G          C
Hey get up on your feet,
       Em
And go get it now.

D           G 
 Like it or not,
        A
We keep bouncing back,
              D     D7
Because we're women.

Bridge 2:

G
 No, we never,
F        Em
 Die for long,
G
 While we've got,
            F
That little life,
   Cm7
To live for.
Where it's,
       G        F
Hid in-side, no,
         Am
We never die for long,
   Dm
Oh-woman, two in one.

Chorus 2:

        G
There's room,
      C
For a life,
        Em
In your womb,
D
 Woman.
G          C
 Inside of you,
       Em
Can be two,
D
 Woman.

        G
There's room,
      C
For a life,
        Em
In your womb,
D       G  C  D
 Woman...

 Mama woman-A-ha,
