[Chorus]
EBaby,     C#m    A  Bthere was nowhere you could Arun
Nothing Eyou could Bdo
EShe knew better,      C#m  Asold your old Bsweater
ALucy shone a Elight on Byou
Oh, ALucy shone a Elight on Byou
[Verse 1]
ELucy's ex has a facial scar in the shape of a crescent moon
And C#mhe'd sit on his own on a stool by the bar and waste away his afternoon
When Eher career finally got in gear and the money started rolling in
C#mLucy knew that time was due for him to hassle her again
[Pre-Chorus]
  B      C#m    AYou've got to hand it to hiBm this tC#mimeA  
Always thinking about the Bpound C#msignsA  
Digging for another BgoldminC#meA

EBaby,     C#m    A  Bthere was nowhere you could Arun
Nothing Eyou could Bdo
EShe knew better,      C#m  Asold your old Bsweater
ALucy shone a Elight on Byou
Oh, ALucy shone a Elight on Byou
[Verse 2]
ELucy sighed and threw her buzzing phone on to the bed
C#mJust like clockwork, he was back and interfering with her head
EHaunting her with compliments, acting like nothing's changed
But she's C#mhung new posters on her walls
And now the dog don't remember his name
[Pre-Chorus]

A terrible Atale of cosmic dread

When he Aread the words inside
Something Bdeep within him died
Yeah Ahe glazed over at the eyes,
And Bmanic laughter filled his mind
