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
