[Intro]
| C# | F# | C# | F# |
| C# C#7add11 | F# F#add11 | C# C#7add11 | F# F#add11 |

[Verse 1]
C# F#
Well, I spoke in a rhyme but the words were not mine
C# F#
They must have been yours
C# F#
You were to defy but then you rolled your eyes
C# F#
And then you opened up the doors
C# C#7add11 F# F#add11
I picked up a plate from which you ate
C# C#7add11 F# F#add11
And then I ate from it too
C# C#7add11 F# F#add11
You poured me a drink but still didn't bust a link
C# C#7add11 F# F#add11
But I wasn't chained with you
[Chorus]
G# G#
When Lucy's down, she's down, she's down
G# G# C#
Lucy you're down and you take the whole world with you
B F# F#
I feel fine, so don't read my mind, don't read my mind
C# B F# F#
I, I feel fine, so don't read my mind, you lit up like a candle
[Post-Chorus]
| C# C#7add11 | F# F#add11 | C# C#7add11 | F# F#add11 |
[Verse 2]
C# F#
You put on your petticoat, celebrating I would quote
C# F#
'Til I was blue in the face
C# F#
Some would call it customary, brainwashed and ordinary
C# F#
The things that we would chase
C# C#7add11 F# F#add11
Thinking you were waterproof you took a dive off from the roof
C# C#7add11 F# F#add11
Into the rain
C# C#7add11 F# F#add11
Fever was high and we were spinning in our primes
C# C#7add11 F# F#add11
All else seemed tame
[Chorus]
G# G#
When Lucy's down, she's down, she's down
G# G# C#
Lucy you're down and you take the whole world with you
B F# F#
I feel fine, so don't read my mind, don't read my mind
C# B F# F#
I, I feel fine, so don't read my mind, get up Lucy!
[Instrumental]
| C# | B | F# | F# |
| C# | B | F# | F# |
[Bridge]
C# B F# F#
I've survived harder falls than this, than this
C# B F# F#
With a sugar coated smile and self possessive kiss, kiss, you lit up like a candle
C# B F#
And I saw you explode
N.C.
You lit up like a candle
[Chorus]
G# G#
Lucy's down, she's down, she's down
G# G# C#
Lucy you're down and you take the whole world with you
B F# F#
I feel fine, so don't read my mind, don't read my mind
C# B F# F#
I, I feel fine, so don't read my mind, you lit up like a candle
[Outro]
C# B
Get up, get up
F# F#
Get up on your feet Lucy, get up on your feet Lucy
C# B
Get up, get up
F# F#
Get up on your feet Lucy, get up on your feet Lucy
C# B
(Lucy, Lucy)
F# F#
(Flows like a river, she thinks like a giver)
C# B
(Get up, get up)
F# F# C#
(Get up on your feet Lucy, get up on your feet Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy)
