FF Piano Chord 

Lucy Grace can't show her face
CC Piano Chord 

Down in the North End Road
DmDm Piano Chord 

For in Belgravia
EbEb Piano Chord 

Rumors have been whispered
CC Piano Chord 

And suggestions have been made
FF Piano Chord 

Did you sell your frieds out
CC Piano Chord 

When the heat got too intense?
DmDm Piano Chord 

You say you like the danger
AmAm Piano Chord 

But it's only a pretense
EbEb Piano Chord 

You say you need the money
GmGm Piano Chord 

When everybody knows you can always
CsusCsus Piano Chord 
  CC Piano Chord 

Fall back on you inheritance

BbBb Piano Chord 
         CC Piano Chord 
              FF Piano Chord 
     BbBb Piano Chord 

Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms
BbBb Piano Chord 
          CC Piano Chord 
            FF Piano Chord 
       BbBb Piano Chord 

Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide?
BbBb Piano Chord 
       CC Piano Chord 
         FF Piano Chord 
       DmDm Piano Chord 

Only fingertips from forbidden bliss
BbBb Piano Chord 
                        CC Piano Chord 
      FF Piano Chord 

Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?

FF Piano Chord 

Who's that sneaking 'round the door?
CC Piano Chord 

You can't come here no more
DmDm Piano Chord 

Can't you go home again?
EbEb Piano Chord 

She used to sit alone for hours
CC Piano Chord 

Spend her evening watering dried flowers

FF Piano Chord 

When her mother came to stay
CC Piano Chord 

And finally went to bed
DmDm Piano Chord 

Lucy Grace was in the frontroom
AmAm Piano Chord 

Shooting through your
EbEb Piano Chord 

She tried to take your breath away
GmGm Piano Chord 
                             CC Piano Chord 

And give you something else instead

BbBb Piano Chord 
         CC Piano Chord 
              FF Piano Chord 
     BbBb Piano Chord 

Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms
BbBb Piano Chord 
          CC Piano Chord 
            FF Piano Chord 
       BbBb Piano Chord 

Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide?
BbBb Piano Chord 
       CC Piano Chord 
         FF Piano Chord 
       DmDm Piano Chord 

Only fingertips from forbidden bliss
BbBb Piano Chord 
                        CC Piano Chord 
      FF Piano Chord 

Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?

BbBb Piano Chord 

Next year she'll serve her function
CC Piano Chord 

In that Audrey Hepburn hat
BbBb Piano Chord 

It still won't suit her much
FF Piano Chord 

But she'll get over that
BbBb Piano Chord 

She'll be pale and feign indifference
CC Piano Chord 

As they're handing out the prizes
BbBb Piano Chord 

Spilling Daddy's pearls of wisdom
CC Piano Chord 

And her ugly sister's tranquilisers

BbBb Piano Chord 
      CC Piano Chord 
           FF Piano Chord 
        BbBb Piano Chord 

Why were you so tardy putting up your guard?
BbBb Piano Chord 
       CC Piano Chord 
             FF Piano Chord 
      BbBb Piano Chord 

When you hurt so easily and you try so hard
BbBb Piano Chord 
         CC Piano Chord 
              FF Piano Chord 
     BbBb Piano Chord 

Did you bruise your arms on these false alarms
BbBb Piano Chord 
          CC Piano Chord 
            FF Piano Chord 
       BbBb Piano Chord 

Did you bruise your pride on his smile so snide?
BbBb Piano Chord 
       CC Piano Chord 
         FF Piano Chord 
       DmDm Piano Chord 

Only fingertips from forbidden bliss
BbBb Piano Chord 
                        CC Piano Chord 
      FF Piano Chord 

Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?
