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?
