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
