Intro:
G
Bm G A Bm x2

Verse 1:
    Bm
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
   D
But none of us would chance her
  A         G  A
Because she was a Samurai
Bm
She made electric shadows
 D
Beyond our fingertips
   A              E
And none of us could reach that high
Bm
She came on like a teaser
  D
I had to touch and please her
 A         G  A
Enjoy a little paradise
   Bm
The log was in my pocket
    D
When Lucy met the Rocket
     A          Bm A G
And she never knew the reason why

Pre-Chorus:
     Em
I can't deny it
      D      A  G
With that smile on her face
       Em
It's not the kill
     D     Em  A  Bm
It's the thrill of the chase

Chorus:
        G A
Feel it coming
    Bm
It's knocking at the door
               G A
You know it's no good running
   Bm
It's not against the law
         G  A
The point of no return
   Bm
And now you know the score
            G A
And now you're learning
     E
What's knockin' at your back door

Verse 2:
    Bm
Sweet Nancy was so fancy
  D
To get into her pants we
    A        G A
Had to be the aristocracy
Bm
The members that she toyed with
  D
At her city club
     A      E
Were something in diplomacy
   Bm
So we put her on the hit list
   D
Of a common cunning linguist
  A        G  A
A master of many tongues
Bm
And now she eases gently
      D
From her Austin to her Bentley
  A          Bm A G
Suddenly she feels so young

Pre-Chorus:
     Em
I can't deny it
      D      A  G
With that smile on her face
       Em
It's not the kill
     D     Em  A  Bm
It's the thrill of the chase

Chorus:
        G A
Feel it coming
    Bm
It's knocking at the door
               G A
You know it's no good running
   Bm
It's not against the law
         G  A
The point of no return
   Bm
And now you know the score
            G A
And now you're learning
     E
What's knockin' at your back door
