[Intro] G Bm G A Bm G A Bm x2 [Verse 1]
       Bm
Sweet Lucy was a dancer

     D
But none of us would chance her

    A                  G   A
Because she was a Samurai

    Bm
She made electric shadows

  D
Beyond our fingertips

     A                            E
And none of us could reach that high

    Bm
She came on like a teaser

   D
I had to touch and please her

  A                 G    A
Enjoy a little paradise

     Bm
The log was in my pocket

       D
When Lucy met the Rocket

          A                    Bm A G
And she never knew the reason why
[Pre-Chorus]
         Em
I can't deny it

            D           A    G
With that smile on her face

              Em
It's not the kill

          D         Em   A
It's the thrill of the chase
[Chorus]
Bm  G  A       Bm
       Feel it coming

G  A        Bm
       It's knocking at the door

Bm  G                A       Bm
       You know it's no good running

G  A        Bm
       It's not against the law

Bm  G      A        Bm     G
       The point of no return

A       Bm
    And now you know the score

Bm  G      A          Bm
       And now you're learning

G  A                E
       Ah-ha what's knockin' at your back door
[Verse 2]
       Bm
Sweet Nancy was so fancy

    D
To get into her pants we

       A               G  A
Had to be the aristocracy

    Bm
The members that she toyed with

D
At her city club

          A              E
Were something in diplomacy

      Bm
So we put her on the hit list

      D
Of a common cunning linguist

    A               G    A
A master of many tongues

Bm
And now she eases gently

           D
From her Austin to her Bentley

   A                    Bm  A G
Suddenly she feels so young
[Pre-Chorus]
         Em
I can't deny it

            D           A    G
With that smile on her face

              Em
It's not the kill

          D         Em   A    Bm
It's the thrill of the chase
[Chorus]
Bm  G  A       Bm
       Fee l it coming

G  A       Bm
       It's knocking at the door

Bm  G                A       Bm
       You know it's no good running

G  A        Bm
       It's not against the law

Bm  G      A        Bm     G
       The point of no return

A       Bm
    And now you know the score

Bm  G      A          Bm
       And now you're learning

G  A                E
       Ah-ha what's knockin' at your back door
