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 he'll 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

    [ch]G[/ch]                [ch]G7[/ch]              [ch]Am[/ch]
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]

You don't know why
