A                                    Emaj7
She lay in bed all night watching the colors change
A                                    Emaj7
She lay in bed all night watching the morning change
A                                     G#m
She lay in bed all night watching the morning change
     F#m            E
into green and gold

The doctor told her years ago that she was ill
The doctor told her years ago to take a pill
The doctor told her years ago that she'd go blind
If she wasn't careful

C#m7              B
They let Lisa go blind
     A                                 G#
The world was at her feet and she was looking down
C#m7               B
They let Lisa go blind
    A                                 Amaj7
And everyone she knew thought she was beautiful

       E
Only slightly mental
Amaj7
Beautiful
      E
Only tempermental
Amaj7
Beautiful
       E
Only slightly mental
Amaj7
Beautiful

She thought it would be fun to try photography
She thought it would be fun to try pornography
She thought it would be fun to try most anything
She was tired of sleeping

C#m7               B                 A
They let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind,
              G#
let Lisa go blind
C#m7              B
They let Lisa go blind

Chorus:
       A
She's looking like a queen
            E                          A
But if you knew what's going on in her life
              F#m                              B
There'd be a thousand barren mothers there to talk
to her
         E                          A
If you knew what's going on in her life
               F#m                            B
There'd be two hundred troubled teenagers to sit
with her
     B
And talk to her
         E                          D
If you knew what's going on in her life
                        A
What's going on in her life
                 C#               F#
There would be a documentary on Radio 4

She made herself a pair of orthopaedic shoes
She thought it was the answer to the fashion blues
She thought it was an answer to the fashion blues
But she walked with a limp

They let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind,
let Lisa go blind
They let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind,
let Lisa go blind
They let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind,
let Lisa go blind
They let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind,
let Lisa go blind
