Verse 2
Dm
Violet was a silent girl
     Am
Grew up with violent starts
    Dm
Her mother was a drinker
        Am
And her father was a bastard
Dm
Every night he'd tuck her tight
    Am
But never left the room
     Dm
I'll spare you of the things he did
   Am   N.C
Im sure her mother knew

Verse 3
Dm
Violet was a silent girl
    Bb              A
She moved out at sixteen
  Dm
A semi-detached council flat
Bb            A
Paid for by a welfare-scheme
Dm
Packing shelves at Tesco's
         Bb                A
Stacking jars like pickled bricks
    Dm
She met a boy named Stevie
       Bb  N.C
And he was a little prick

Verse 4
Dm
Violet was a silent girl
    Am
And Violet she fell fast
    Dm
See Stevie was a wrongun
       Am
But he sure knew how to charm her
Dm
Every night he'd tuck her tight
    Am
But never left the room
Dm
History repeats itself
     Am                            Gm
He'd paint her black and blue and ah
    Am             Gm
She never stood a chance
    Am G   F     Em Dm
The de-vil comes to dance

Interlude
N.C
"Violet, why you always so quiet?"
N.C
On her bedroom door and he's irate
N.C
He's been drinking and smoking he's up late
N.C
And he stands by her bedside, she shakes
N.C
But her eyes stay shut
N.C
"You fucking slut! I know you're up!"
N.C
And he pinches her eyelids and folds them up
N.C
"Violet, why you lying to me Violet?"
N.C
She stays silent, things turn violent
N.C                                                         Dm
Thats the sound of his fists when they fall like a crashing pilot
                     Am
Hit like hailstones, one to the collar bone, full force, full blown
Dm
Blood splat, bone crack, knick-knack-paddy-whack
Am                         N.C
One to the jaw and a tooth spat, detached
N.C
Fist connects and disconnects the bone
N.C
A quick deflect to misdirect the blow
N.C
But nonetheless his punches met her throat
N.C
Such a mess, he's left her bruised and broke
N.C
"Violet!? Why you always so silent Violet?
N.C
Why you such a little liar Violet?
N.C
Do you think I want to do this Violet?"
N.C
In character she stays silent
N.C
"Well say something Violet!" - silence
N.C
"Fucking say something Violet!" - silence
N.C
"Wait, say something Violet"
N.C
Not one word, she stays quiet
