Latch of the Terrace, [E] never grew up, [D] I hope she never [A] will.
Broken down TV, [E] sits in the corner, [A] pictures standing still, standing [E] still.
[A] Latch of the Terrace, [E] knows all her [A] heritage, precious Henrik here.
Knows all her history [E] in the family, [A] needs to learn God forbid, God [E] forbid.
[D] And it sounds like an empty [A] house, standing [E] still.
[D] And it's quieter than [A] a house, standing [E] still.
[A] Latch of the [E] Terrace, never grew up, [A] I hope she never will.
Says she's an [E] heiress, sits in her terrace, [A] [D] says she's got a client [A] to kill, client [E] to kill.
[D] And her love needs a [A] QA, love, [E] God forbid.
[D] And they all want to win [A] the love, God [E] forbid.

[D] And the rod needs a [A] cuing of god [E] forbid.
