F5
Lucy Grace can't show her face
     C5
Down in the North End Road
          D5
For in Belgravia
  Eb5
Rumors have been whispered
                           C5
And suggestions have been made
 F5
Did you sell your frieds out
          C5
When the heat got too intense?
    D5
You say you like the danger
          A5
But it's only a pretense
    Eb5
You say you need the money
        G5
When everybody knows you can always
                   C5  C5
Fall back on you inheritance

          Bb5         C5              F5     Bb5
Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms
          Bb5          C5            F5       Bb5
Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide?
     Bb5       C5         F5       D5
Only fingertips from forbidden bliss
          Bb5                        C5      F5
Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?

 F5
Who's that sneaking 'round the door?
      C5
You can't come here no more
              D5
Can't you go home again?
     Eb5
She used to sit alone for hours
                                    C5
Spend her evening watering dried flowers

 F5
When her mother came to stay
       C5
And finally went to bed
 D5
Lucy Grace was in the frontroom
  A5
Shooting through your
     Eb5
She tried to take your breath away
G5                             C5
And give you something else instead

          Bb5         C5              F5     Bb5
Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms
          Bb5          C5            F5       Bb5
Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide?
     Bb5       C5         F5       D5
Only fingertips from forbidden bliss
          Bb5                        C5      F5
Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?

      Bb5
Next year she'll serve her function
          C5
In that Audrey Hepburn hat
    Bb5
It still won't suit her much
                F5
But she'll get over that
           Bb5
She'll be pale and feign indifference
             C5
As they're handing out the prizes
           Bb5
Spilling Daddy's pearls of wisdom
                           C5
And her ugly sister's tranquilisers

          Bb5      C5           F5        Bb5
Why were you so tardy putting up your guard?
          Bb5       C5             F5      Bb5
When you hurt so easily and you try so hard
          Bb5         C5              F5     Bb5
Did you bruise your arms on these false alarms
          Bb5          C5            F5       Bb5
Did you bruise your pride on his smile so snide?
     Bb5       C5         F5       D5
Only fingertips from forbidden bliss
          Bb5                        C5      F5
Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?
