Lush Life Chords by Rickie Lee Jones

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ I used to visit [F#] _ _
all these [C#] very gay places.
[F#] _ _
Those come what may [C#] places [D#] _
_ where one _ [C#] _
relaxes [F#] _ _ [G#m] [E] on the [B] axis [A] of the [B] wheel of life _ [D] _ _ to [C#] get a
feel [Fm] of [A#] _ _ [B] peace and _ _ _ dancing.
[C#] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
The [C#] [G#] girls I knew had [C#] sad _ _ _ and sullen [A#m] gray faces _ [F#] with _ _ [A#m] distant gay traces.
_ [B] _ [A#] _ [D#m] _ _ _ _
Used [C#] to be [G#] there, _ [C#] you could [B] see where [A] they've [E] been washed _
[F#] away.
_ [D] _ [E] Two _ _ minutes [C#] for their day, _ [B] _ _
_ twelve [C#] o'clock news.
_ [C] _
_ _ [A#] _ Then [F] [Fm] suddenly you came [G#] along with _ [D#] the _ [G#] _
[Fm] siren [G] song.
_ _ It tempts me to _ [C] madness, _ [E] _ _ _
[F] _ I thought [D] for a while. _ _
[G#] _ _ _ _ [F] _ [G] _ [C#] _
Sadness, _ _ with _ _ the sadness _ of [D#m] a great love _ [B] for [F#] me.
_ [B] _
[C] _ [A#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] But I was [C#] wrong, _ _ _ [A] I _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] was wrong.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ Oh life [E] _ _
is lonely, [C#] _ _ _ _
[C#m] and _ _ [F#m] only [C#] last week [G#] _
_ _ [C] _ [Em] everything [D#] seemed [E] _
so [B] sure.
[G#] Sadness, _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ oh life [D] _
will be [C#] awful, _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [D] but full [C#] of happiness.
_ _ [C] _ You'll probably _ [F] be a boy, _ [A#m] _ [D#] a [G#] boy.
_ _ _ _ Oh, am [G] I [F#] gonna [Cm] perish, _ _ [Em] lose the bite of it?
[F#] _ [D#] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [Bm] _
Oh no.
[Fm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ [G] _ [G#] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D]
I'll forget [E] you.
[C#] I'll forget you. _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#]
You are still _ [C] burning inside [B] _ my [G#] _ [D#] _ _ [A#] brain.
_ _ [D#m] _ _ _ Romance [C#m] is my [F#m] _ _ _ [A#m] staple, _ those [A#] who strive.
_ _ [C#] Well I'll live a [E] lush life, [F#] _ _ [B] _ and _ _ sometimes _ [C#] _ _ _ I'll _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [A] _ [B] _ _ _ _ rise _ [Em] with the wheel [A] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ of _ [E] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
life.
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Thank you, we gotta go now.
