You're so wrapped up in your Jekyll-Hyde life

And the wife and the kids can see plainer than light.

Just to lie and(?) get out that door.

I know it's too late to change my strategy

C         D         C          D

Any way I move they turn their backs to me

G          A              G    A

What's the use they don't even speak to me

What does it matter now?

They don't seem to care

                D              A

There's nothing left to share

G Bm C D (x2)

A               C#m

Way up in that towerblock fortress

    D                        E

The view is of car-dumps and disused gasworks

A                             C#m

They don't come see you play around anymore

            D                              E

Cos they've packed your bags and left them outside the door

                         --12----0----

                         -------------

This is as close as I can get it - the lyrics that have a question

  mark after them are as close I as I could get although I'm pretty

  sure they're not right.  If anyone can shed any light on what the

  lyrics are please get in touch.  Cheers.
