Intro: G / Am / G / Am / Bm / Am / D / D

          G                                Am
There's a picture by his first wife on the wall
         G                                   Am
Stripped floor-boards in the kitchen and the hall
  Bm                                  Am
A stain from last week's party on the stairs
    D
But no-one knows who made it
Or how it ever got there
          G                                 Am
They were dancing with children round their necks
        G                                    Am
Talking business, books and records, art and sex
Bm                                Am
All things being considered you'd call it a success
              D
You wore your black dress
 
Oh, oh
Oh, oh...
 
Oh, he's an architect and such a lovely guy
And he'll stay with you until the day you die
And he'll give you everything you could desire
(Oh, well, almost everything -
Everything that he can buy)
So you sometimes go out in the afternoon
Spend an hour with your lover in his bedroom
Hearing old women rolling trolleys down the road

Lyndhurst Grove, oh
