Intro: Em  G  C x2

Verse 1:

Em (022000@1)            GWe (320003@1)used to be something surreal 
COthers (x32010@1)looked to us for what we built
Em (022000@1)            G (320003@1)  
We were envied until the point
CThe (x32010@1)point in which we fell
                Em (022000@1)         G (320003@1)              CWe (x32010@1)fell by the wayside, and slowly watched ourselves die
                        Em (022000@1)             GA (320003@1)lonely death in which no one cared and no one came
          D (xx0232@1)                                      C (x32010@1)
When the walls cave in, we only have ourselves to blame

Chorus:
         Em (022000@1)            D/F# (200232@1)            CAnd (x32010@1)even if it's dark at least we'll be together
        Em (022000@1)          D/F# (200232@1)          CSlowly (x32010@1)sinking in the earth to lay forever
            Em (022000@1)           D/F# (200232@1)            CYou (x32010@1)better grab a hold and hold on for your life
             DBecause (xx0232@1)you don't get lucky twice

Verse 2: (You don't have to play the chords in the parentheses)

Em (022000@1)       G(D/F#) (320003@1)     C (x32010@1)              
      Now even if it's perfect, I can't get carried away
Em (022000@1)         G (320003@1)(D/F#)  C (x32010@1)     And motivate my tongue in twisted ways
                Em (022000@1)            G (320003@1)              CIt (x32010@1)felt like a good night, for dancing and the moonlight
                         Em (022000@1)       G (320003@1)   (D/F#)  DIn (xx0232@1)empty streets, well, everybody's got a reason why 
            Dsus4 (xx0233@1)            CIf (x32010@1)we could only just get it right

Chorus:
      Em (022000@1)            D/F# (200232@1)             CMaybe (x32010@1)it will all work out like in the movies
            Em (022000@1)      D/F# (200232@1)          CBut (x32010@1)I know Romeo must die before the ending
        Em (022000@1)        D/F# (200232@1)          CWith (x32010@1)a final poison kiss delivered gently
             D (xx0232@1)                                    G (320003@1) G (320003@1) Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1)    
Because you don't get lucky twice, and that's the truth

Bridge:

            Em (022000@1)         
If New York City still moves me
        CThen (x32010@1)I found something real
G (320003@1)                                  G (320003@1)D/F#I'll (200232@1)be okay, I could go on for days
            Em (022000@1)                           D (xx0232@1)             CBut (x32010@1)I just don't have the courage that it takes to be real

Chorus:
         Em (022000@1)            D/F# (200232@1)            CAnd (x32010@1)even if it's dark at least we'll be together
        Em (022000@1)          D/F# (200232@1)          CSlowly (x32010@1)sinking in the earth to lay forever
            Em (022000@1)           D/F# (200232@1)            CYou (x32010@1)better grab a hold and hold on for your life
             DBecause (xx0232@1)you don't get lucky twice
         DNo, (xx0232@1)you don't get lucky twice

G (320003@1) G (320003@1) Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1)END
