Intro
Bb / Bb / Gm / F x2
It took so Bblong to get me back on my feet
It takes so Bblong to find the words and the beat
And Charlie's waiting on the end of the phone
To hGmear you cFall on him to try to recapture
But them oldBb records won't be saving your soul
And them feeBblings got the reasons you know
That you've forgotten somewhere
RidingGm a train to place
You are outF in the cold cold
GmAnd it feels lCmike all yFou'd have to do is step outside
GmStop pacing arCmound and waiting for some moment
ThBbat migFht never arrive
BbBut you're nGmever gonna find it
EbLike when you were young
AnEbd everybody useFd to call you lucky
Pre-Verse
Bb / Bb
Nothing Bbfeels right in the wintery cold
Steam, heat,Bb clang, and the dark at your door
All the other rooms are a party tonight
And Gmyou neveFr got an invitation
And you feel iBbn your bones, steady aching some more
Twenty five Bbyears gone just an hour ago
Momma never told me there'd be days like these
UntGil it wFas much too late to recover
GmAnd it feels lCmike alFl you'd have to do is step outside
GmStop pacing arCmound andBb waitingF for some moment that might never arrive
BbBut you'rGme never gonna find it
When yEmour kneeBbs got so weak
But iBbt's right here Gmin case you need it
Like Ebwhen you were young
And evBberybody used tFo call you lucky
When yoEbu were young
And Bbeverybody used to Fcall you lucky
GmBut it feels likCme you juFst might explode inside
GmYou've been pacing around and waiting
For soCmme momBbent thFat might never arrive at all
BbWhat you donGm't havFe, you don't need it anymore
BbWhat you donGm't have,F you Bbdon't need it anymore
BbBut you'reGm never gonna find it
When Ebyour knees goBbt so weaFk
And itBb's rightGm here in case you need it
EbLike when you were young
And eBbverybody usedF to call you lucky
When you were young
And everybody used to call you lucky
If you're anywhere in Manhattan
In the next eight days or so
Let me know
Speak soon, stay lucky.
