[Verse 1]

Amaj7                           D
Watching Nicky turn from a girl into a wife
        Amaj7                                 D
Is like watching all the life drain out of Nicky
Amaj7                D
Seventeen last June, thirty-four this May
Amaj7                             D
What else can I say about you, Nicky?

[Chorus]

       Amaj7
Oh no, she's not painting any more
D
Spends the evenings locked indoors, and now,
Amaj7                                   D
Something's just not going right for Nicky - oh yeah!
    Amaj7                               D
Her mother said she'd mind the kid, and when it came she never did - now,
Amaj7                             D
You're not smiling anymore, no Nicky
                          Amaj7        D
Oh! no no no no no no, Nicky

[Verse 2]

  Amaj7                        D
I remember we went out and got stuck under a bridge
    Amaj7                                  D
The kids were throwing stones at me and Nicky
     Amaj7
If I could see her now,
    D
I'd shout across and say:
           Amaj7                    D
"Hey Nicky - run away, do it now Nicky"

[Chorus]

        Amaj7
Because she's not painting any more
D
Spends the evenings locked indoors, and now,
Amaj7                                   D
Something's just not going right for Nicky - oh yeah!
    Amaj7                               D
Her mother said she'd mind the kid, and when it came she never did - now,
Amaj7                             D
You're not smiling anymore, no Nicky
                          G    D
Oh! no no no no no no, Nicky

[Bridge]

       E    D
Oh! Nicky
       G    D
Oh! Nicky
   E     D
Nicky

[Outro]

Amaj7                   D
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma ma-ma ma-ma-ma-ma
Amaj7                   D
Ma-ma ma-ma-ma ma-ma-ma ma-ma-ma
          Amaj7
Oh! she's not painting any more
D
Spends the evenings locked indoors, and now
Amaj7                                   D
Something's just not going right for Nicky
                                  Amaj7
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, Nicky
                         D
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma ma-ma, Nicky
                                          Amaj7
Oh! whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa! oh! Nicky
                         D
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma ma-ma, Nicky
                                           Amaj7
Oh! yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah! yeah! yeah! yeah!
