Am C F G
Lucy takes the long way home
Am C F G
meets me in a field of stone
Am C F G
she says I don't know how I'm supposed to feel
Am C F G
my body's cold, my guts are twisted steel.
Am C F C
And I feel like I'm some kind of frankenstein,
Am C F C
waiting for a shock to bring me back to life,
Am C F
but I don't want to spend my time
Am C F F
waiting for lightning to strike. Ohhh...
Am C F G
Am C F G
Am C F G
So underneath a concrete sky
Am C F G
Lucy puts her hand in mine
Am C F G
She says "Life's a game we're meant to lose,
Am C F G
But stick by me and I will stick by you."
Am C F C
Cause I'm like a princess in a castle high,
Am C F C
waiting for a kiss to bring me back to life,
Am C F
but I don't want to spend my time
Am C F F
waiting for just another guy. Ohh....
Am C F G
Am C F G C
