Intro
Bb / Bb / Gm / F   x2
                               Bb
It took so long to get me back on my feet
                                    Bb
It takes so long to find the words and the beat

And Charlie's waiting on the end of the phone
            Gm                   F
To hear you call on him to try to recapture
                                    Bb
But them old records won't be saving your soul
                                    Bb
And them feelings got the reasons you know

That you've forgotten somewhere
                  Gm
Riding a train to place
                   F
You are out in the cold cold


Gm                                    Cm           F
And it feels like all you'd have to do is step outside
Gm                                    Cm
Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment
      Bb            F
That might never arrive





Bb                  Gm
But you're never gonna find it
Eb
Like when you were young
  Eb                             F
And everybody used to call you lucky


Pre-Verse
Bb / Bb

                        Bb
Nothing feels right in the wintery cold
                                    Bb
Steam , heat, clang, and the dark at your door

All the other rooms are a party tonight
            Gm                  F
And you never got an invitation
                                          Bb
And you feel in your bones, steady aching some more
                                Bb
Twenty five years gone just an hour ago
                                          
Momma never told me there'd be days like these
       G                  F
Until it was much too late to recover


Gm                                    Cm            F
And it feels like all you'd have to do is step outside
Gm                                    Cm          Bb              F
Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment that might never arrive




Bb               Gm
But you're never gonna find it
      Em                  Bb
When your knees got so weak
     Bb                     Gm
But it's right here in case you need it
     Eb
Like when you were young
      Bb                            F
And everybody used to call you lucky
       Eb
When you were young
    Bb                            F
And everybody used to call you lucky


Gm                                  Cm                  F
But it feels like you just might explode inside
Gm
You've been pacing around and waiting
          Cm            Bb            F
For some moment that might never arrive at all


Bb                          Gm        F
What you don't have, you don't need it anymore
Bb                          Gm      F            Bb
What you don't have, you don't need it anymore


Bb                Gm
But you're never gonna find it
     Eb                   Bb                  F
When your knees got so weak

      Bb                  Gm
And it's right here in case you need it
Eb
Like when you were young
     Bb                           F
And everybody used to call you lucky

When you were young

And everybody used to call you lucky
