G5   C5
My girlfriend left me
G5   D5
With my house and my car
G5   C5
A shadow comes over me
D5   G5
Because that is so hard

   C5
Every time the same story
G5   D5
The same story in every song
G5   C5
And everybody?s the only one
D5   G5
Who?s treated wrong

   C5
On the other hand
G5   D5
I should show you respect
G5   C5
Because I don?t know
D5   G5
How to write songs so sad

   A5
I wouldn?t be so fine
C5   G5
If I hadn?t all time
A5
An inner voice that tells me to be happy
C5   G5
So I?m a lucky man hey lucky lucky

   A5
I wouldn?t be so amused
C5   G5
If I didn?t know that you?re confused
A5
And absolutely uninterested
C5   G5
In this song oh I?m a lucky bastard

   C5
Okay I promise now
G5   D5
To do all I can
G5   C5
To write some other songs
D5   G5
Those are no more rants

   C5
In defence I just can say
G5   D5
The lyrics comes over me
G5   C5
So quick that I don?t have time
D5   G5
To think of another rhyme

   C5
Well I could forget the lyrics
G5   D5
And write some others
G5   C5
But isn?t it prodigality
D5   G5
Even if the songs are of bad quality

   A5
I wouldn?t be so fine
C5   G5
If I hadn?t all time
A5
An inner voice that tells me to be happy
C5   G5
So I?m a lucky man hey lucky lucky

   A5
I wouldn?t be so amused
C5   G5
If I didn?t know that you?re confused
A5
And absolutely uninterested
C5   G5
In this song oh I?m a lucky bastard
