The morning sun touched gently [Db] on the eyes of Lucy [Ab] Jordan
In her white suburban bedroom, in her white suburban [Eb] town
And she [Ab]
lay beneath the covers, reading [Db] letters
[Ab]
[Eb] Till her world turned to orange and [Db] the walls came [Ab] crumbling down
At [Fm] the [Db]
age of thirty-seven, [Ab] she realized she'd never [Bbm] ride
[Ab] Through Paris [Cm]
in a [Db] sports [Ab] car, with the warm wind [Eb] in her hair
[Cm] So [Ab] she let the phone keep ringing as [Db] she laid there [Ab] softly singing
Pretty nursery [Bb] rhymes that [Eb] she'd [Ab] memorized [Eb] in her [Db]
daddy's easy [Abm] chair
[Db] [Eb] Her [Db]
[Abm] [Db] [Ab]
husband, he was off to work and [Db] the kids were off to [Ab]
school
And there were oh [Db] so many [Ab] ways for her to [Eb]
stay
She [Ab] could clean the house for hours [Db] or rearrange [Ab] the flowers
[Eb] Or run naked down the shady street, [Db]
[Abm] screaming [Ab] all the way
At [Db] the age of thirty-seven, [Ab] she realized she'd never ride
Through Paris in [Db] a sports [Ab] car, with the warm wind [Eb] in her hair
[Ab] So she let the phone keep ringing [Db] as she lay there [Ab] softly singing

rhymes that she'd memorized [Db] in her daddy's [Db] easy [Eb]
[Db] chair
[Eb] The [Db]
[Eb] [Db] [Ab]
evening sun touched gently on [Db] the eyes of Lucy [Ab] Jordan
On a rooftop, where she'd lie when all the laughter [Bb] got too [Eb] loud
[Ab] She bowed in courtesy to the [Db] man who reached and [Ab] offered her his hand
[Eb]
To the long white [Db] car that awaited [Ab] the other
At [Db] the age of thirty-seven, [Ab] she realized she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sports car, with the warm wind [Bb] in [Eb] her hair
At [Db] the age of thirty-seven, [Ab] she realized [Ab]
