Lucy worked a different club every day
[ch]G[/ch]
And though she put her mind to it
[ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]F[/ch]
Her heart was never in it
[ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]
She stayed around just long enough to get paid
[ch]G[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]F[/ch]
She won't pass the time with you, she can't stay a minute
[ch]G[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]
And all these changing faces never bothered her at all
[ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]
They just existed like a back-drop or a pattern on the wall
[ch]G7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]
Lucy looks like someone who is waiting for a call
[ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]
She knows will come, but no-one else can hear at all
[ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]
Lucy finds the dressing room and the bar
[ch]G[/ch]
Hangs her clothes up, hopes tonight
[ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]F[/ch]
The contract won't be broken
[ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]
Well, they kick you round so much when you're not a star
[ch]G[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]F[/ch]
Make you play all night just for a pittance or a token
[ch]G[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]
But all these imperfections never bothered her at all
[ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]
She says it sharpens your perception when your back's against the wall
[ch]G7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]
There's something that enables her to rise above it all
[ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]
To shrug it off, just when it seems to go too far
[ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Fmaj7[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch]
Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost feel the pain comin' on inside
[ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Fmaj7[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch]
Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost feel it now and you don't know why
[ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]
You don't know why, mmmmh

The last time that I saw her she had given up the chase
[ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]
Moved away to California, got a suntan on her face
[ch]G7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]
She said that life was just another time another space
[ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]
It's over now, she learned a lot, it's not a waste
[ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Fmaj7[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch]
Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost feel the pain comin' on inside
[ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Fmaj7[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch]
Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost feel it now and you don't know why
[ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]
You don't know why
[ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Fmaj7[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch]
Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost feel the pain comin' on inside
[ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Fmaj7[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch]
Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost feel it now and you don't know why
[ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]
You don't know why, mmmmh [FADE]
