INTRO
| Am | % | % | % |
[Am]Lucy worked a different club every [C]day
And though she put her [G]mind to it
Her [Dm]heart was never [F]in it
She [Am]stayed around just long enough to get [C]paid
She won't pass the [G]time with you, [Dm]she can't stay a [F]minute
And [G]all these changing [G7]faces never [Am]bothered her at all
They just [G]existed like a [F]back-drop or a [C]pattern on the [G]wall
[G7]Lucy looks like someone who is [Am]waiting for a call
She [G/B]knows will c[Am]ome, but n[G/B]o-one e[Am]lse can hea[G/B]r at all[E][Am]
[Am]Lucy finds the dressing room and the [C]bar
Hangs her clothes up, [G]hopes tonight
The [Dm]contract won't be [F]broken
Well, they [Am]kick you round so much when you're not a [C]star
Make you play all [G]night just for a [Dm]pittance or a [F]token
But [G]all these imper[G7]fections never [Am]bothered her at all
She says it [G]sharpens your [F]perception when your [C]back's against the [G]wall
There's [G7]something that enables her to [Am]rise above it all
To s[G/B]hrug it [Am]off, just [G/B]when it [Am]seems to [G/B]go too [E]far
[Am]Hey, hey, hey, I think you [G]almost [Fmaj7]feel the pain comin' [Em]on inside
[Am]Hey, hey, hey, I think you [G]almost [Fmaj7]feel it now and you don't know [Em]why
You don't know [Dm]why, mmm[Am]mh

The [G]last time that I [G7]saw her she had [Am]given up the chase
Moved [G]away to Cali[F]fornia, got a [C]suntan on her [G]face
She [G7]said that life was just another [Am]time another space
It's [G/B]over [Am]now, she [G/B]learned a [Am]lot, it's [G/B]not a [E]waste
[Am]Hey, hey, hey, I think you [G]almost [Fmaj7]feel the pain comin' [Em]on inside
[Am]Hey, hey, hey, I think you [G]almost [Fmaj7]feel it now and you don't know [Em]why
You don't know [Dm]why[Am]
[Am]Hey, hey, hey, I think you [G]almost [Fmaj7]feel the pain comin' [Em]on inside
[Am]Hey, hey, hey, I think you [G]almost [Fmaj7]feel it now and you don't know [Em]why
You don't know [Dm]why, mmm[Am]mh (FADE)
