Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7 You caught me feeling all was useless, Bbmaj7 Eb/F And left me feeling ten feet high. Dbmaj7 Cm7 Now nothing again can be quite the same. Dbmaj7 Fm7 Eb/F You gather my fears, and threw them away. Luck dropped in, just at the right time; The time when I felt most alone. All my dreams had seemed to vanish. Now my nightmares have upped and gone. I'm not scared of farewells. Nothing's the same twice. I stride through the day, and float through the night. Ebmaj7 Dm7 Gm7 Ab/Bb How much choice do we have in this? Ebmaj7 Dmaj7 Gm7 Ab/Bb Like some almighty hand, smashing your life into pieces, Cm7 Dm7 One day you're washed and drowned Ebmaj7 Eb/F And the next day you're put back on the land. Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7 Eb/F (x2) Now nothing again can be quite the same. I gather my fears and I throw them away. Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7 Luck, when you hold me closely. Bbmaj7 Eb Ooh, feels like summertime. Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7 Luck, when you hold my hand. Bbmaj7 Eb/F I want it all the time. Luck, in your country kisses. Ooh, I love your outlook. Luck, in your hills and valleys. Go on talking, my babbling brook.
