Dm You say you like the danger Am But it's only a pretense Eb You say you need the money Gm When everybody knows you can always Csus C Fall back on you inheritance Bb C F Bb Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms Bb C F Bb Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide? Bb C F Dm Only fingertips from forbidden bliss Bb C F Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss? F Who's that sneaking 'round the door? C You can't come here no more Dm Can't you go home again? Eb She used to sit alone for hours C Spend her evening watering dried flowers F When her mother came to stay C And finally went to bed Dm Lucy Grace was in the frontroom Am Shooting through your Eb She tried to take your breath away Gm C And give you something else instead Bb C F Bb Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms Bb C F Bb Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide? Bb C F Dm Only fingertips from forbidden bliss Bb C F Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss? Bb Next year she'll serve her function C In that Audrey Hepburn hat Bb It still won't suit her much F But she'll get over that Bb She'll be pale and feign indifference C As they're handing out the prizes Bb Spilling Daddy's pearls of wisdom C And her ugly sister's tranquilisers Bb C F Bb Why were you so tardy putting up your guard? Bb C F Bb When you hurt so easily and you try so hard Bb C F Bb Did you bruise your arms on these false alarms Bb C F Bb Did you bruise your pride on his smile so snide? Bb C F Dm Only fingertips from forbidden bliss Bb C F Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?
