F

Lucy Grace can't show her face

     C

Down in the North End Road

          Dm

For in Belgravia

  Eb

Rumors have been whispered

                           C

And suggestions have been made

 F

Did you sell your frieds out

          C

When the heat got too intense?

    Dm

You say you like the danger

          Am

But it's only a pretense

    Eb

You say you need the money

        Gm

When everybody knows you can always

                   Csus  C

Fall back on you inheritance



          Bb         C              F     Bb

Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms

          Bb          C            F       Bb

Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide?

     Bb       C         F       Dm

Only fingertips from forbidden bliss

          Bb                        C      F

Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?



 F

Who's that sneaking 'round the door?

      C

You can't come here no more

              Dm

Can't you go home again?

     Eb

She used to sit alone for hours

                                    C

Spend her evening watering dried flowers



 F

When her mother came to stay

       C

And finally went to bed

 Dm

Lucy Grace was in the frontroom

  Am

Shooting through your

     Eb

She tried to take your breath away

Gm                             C

And give you something else instead



          Bb         C              F     Bb

Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms

          Bb          C            F       Bb

Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide?

     Bb       C         F       Dm

Only fingertips from forbidden bliss

          Bb                        C      F

Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?



      Bb

Next year she'll serve her function

          C

In that Audrey Hepburn hat

    Bb

It still won't suit her much

                F

But she'll get over that

           Bb

She'll be pale and feign indifference

             C

As they're handing out the prizes

           Bb

Spilling Daddy's pearls of wisdom

                           C

And her ugly sister's tranquilisers



          Bb      C           F        Bb

Why were you so tardy putting up your guard?

          Bb       C             F      Bb

When you hurt so easily and you try so hard

          Bb         C              F     Bb

Did you bruise your arms on these false alarms

          Bb          C            F       Bb

Did you bruise your pride on his smile so snide?

     Bb       C         F       Dm

Only fingertips from forbidden bliss

          Bb                        C      F

Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?
