Verse 
                Am           C   F 
Did you grow up lonesome and one of a kind? 
          Am                     C   F 
Were your records all you had to pass the time? 
                  Am           C             F 
Or maybe you were taken by the mysteries of New Orleans? 
       Am             C         F 
Or the uptight, rowdy girls of Lower Chelsea? 


Pre-Chorus 
                Am            C     F 
And we hustle in London but we live in the city 
               Am           C      F 
And we keep it down when we take a beating 
              Am               C      F 
Yeah, we keep it down with the radio on 
                 Am          G      F 
And if you find a good man, don't take him home 



            C 
When you're working full-time 
             F                         C               F 
And spending all of your nights never dancing like you did 
            C                         F 
While the gravity hangs on all the selling points you had, 
              C              F 
Should've stayed and been the Queen of Lower Chelsea 



Verse 
                  Am 
Did you grow up a good girl, 
    C       F 
Your daddy's pride? 
                     Am 
Did you make all the right moves, 
                         C     F 
Take all the right drugs right on time? 
             Am        C       F 
American girls, they want the whole world 
        Am                           C      F 
They want every last little light in New York City 


Pre-Chorus 
                   Am             C      F 
But we're hustling in London and we're fast asleep 
              Am            C      F 
And we keep it down when we take a beating 
              Am               C      F 
Yeah, we keep it down with the radio on 
               Am           G      F 
And if you find a good man, don't take him home 



            C 
When you're working full-time 
              F                       C                 F 
And spending all of your nights never dancing like you did 
           C                         F 
While the gravity hangs on all the selling points you had, 
              C             F 
Should've stayed and been the Queen of Lower Chelsea 




Bridge 
                     F 
Well they say these days, 
               Am 
Nothing comes cheap 
               C 
And everything has a price 
          F 
Everyone has a price 
             Am 
No nothing is free 
         C 
Not even me 


F Am C F 


            C

              F                       C                 F 
And spending all of your nights never dancing like you did 
            C                        F 
While the gravity hangs on all the selling points you had, 
               C             F
