------ Am Am Verse
                Am           C   F
Did you grow up lonesome and one of a kind?

          Am                     C   F
Were your records all you had to pass the time?

                  Am           C             F
Or maybe you were taken by the mysteries of New Orleans?

       Am             C         F
Or the uptight, rowdy girls of Lower Chelsea?
Pre-chorus
                Am            C     F
And we hustle in London but we live in the city

               Am           C      F
And we keep it down when we take a beating

              Am               C      F
Yeah, we keep it down with the radio on

                 Am          G      F
And if you find a good man, don't take him home
Chorus
            C
When you're working full-time

             F                         C               F
And spending all of your nights never dancing like you did

            C                         F
While the gravity hangs on all the selling points you had,

              C              F
Should've stayed and been the Queen of Lower Chelsea
Verse
                  Am
Did you grow up a good girl,

    C       F
Your daddy's pride?

                     Am
Did you make all the right moves,

                         C     F
Take all the right drugs right on time?

             Am        C       F
American girls, they want the whole world

        Am                           C      F
They want every last little light in New York City
Pre-chorus
                   Am             C      F
But we're hustling in London and we're fast asleep

              Am            C      F
And we keep it down when we take a beating

              Am               C      F
Yeah, we keep it down with the radio on

               Am           G      F
And if you find a good man, don't take him home
Chorus
            C
When you're working full-time

              F                       C                 F
And spending all of your nights never dancing like you did

           C                         F

Bridge
                     F
Well they say these days,

               Am
Nothing comes cheap

               C
And everything has a price

          F
Everyone has a price

             Am
No nothing is free

         C
Not even me
F Am C F Chorus x2
            C
When you're working full-time

              F                       C                 F
And spending all of your nights never dancing like you did

            C                        F
While the gravity hangs on all the selling points you had,

               C             F
Should've stayed and been the Queen of Lower Chelsea
