[Verse]
D Lucy Grace can't show her face A Down in the North End Road Bm or in Belgravia C Rumors have been whispered A And suggestions have been made D Did you sell your friends out A When the heat got too intense? Bm You say you like the danger F#m But it's only a pretense C You say you need the money Em When everybody knows you can always Asus A Fall back on your inheritance
[Chorus]
G A D G Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms G A D G Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide? G A D Bm Only fingertips from forbidden bliss G Asus4 D Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?
[Verse]
D Who's that sneaking 'round the door? A You can't come here no more Bm Can't you go home again? C She used to sit alone for hours Asus4 A Spend her evening watering dried flowers D When her mother came to stay A And finally went to bed Bm Lucy Grace was in the frontroom F#m Shooting through your C She tried to take your breath away Em Asus4 A And give you something else instead
[Chorus]
G A D G Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms G A D G Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide? G A D Bm Only fingertips from forbidden bliss G A D Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?
[Bridge]
G Next year she'll serve her function A In that Audrey Hepburn hat G It still won't suit her much D But she'll get over that G She'll be pale and feign indifference A As they're handing out the prizes G Spilling Daddy's words of wisdom Asus4 A And her ugly sister's tranquilisers
[Chorus]
G A D G Why were you so tardy putting up your guard? G A D G When you hurt so easily and you try so hard G A D G Did you bruise your arms on these false alarms G A D G Did you bruise your pride on his face so snide? G A D Bm Only fingertips from forbidden bliss G A D Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?
