C
Tinted hair and painted lips
       G7
Polish on your fingertips
                     C
I hardly knew it was you

Shabby dress and worn out gloves
         G7
A shadow of the girl I love
                     C
I hardly knew it was you

    F                                C
You once said that you would have no one
D7                        G7
Now no one will ever have you
C
A life of hardship and disgrace
         G7
I see it written on your face
                     C
I hardly knew it was you


Custom jewels and cheap perfume
              G7
You're like a rose that's lost its bloom
                     C
I hardly knew it was you

         G7
You have changed dear through and through
                     C
I hardly knew it was you

   F                          C
We could have lived our lives together
D7                                G7
But your heart had a mind all its own
C
What a pity what a shame
        G7
I don't know who's to blame
                         C
But I hardly knew it was you
