Intro
Bb5 / Bb5 / G5 / F5   x2
                               Bb5
It took so long to get me back on my feet
                                    Bb5
It takes so long to find the words and the beat

And Charlie's waiting on the end of the phone
            G5                   F5
To hear you call on him to try to recapture
                                    Bb5
But them old records won't be saving your soul
                                    Bb5
And them feelings got the reasons you know

That you've forgotten somewhere
                  G5
Riding a train to place
                   F5
You are out in the cold cold


G5                                    C5           F5
And it feels like all you'd have to do is step outside
G5                                    C5
Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment
      Bb5            F5
That might never arrive





Bb5                  G5
But you're never gonna find it
Eb5
Like when you were young
  Eb5                             F5
And everybody used to call you lucky


Pre-Verse
Bb5 / Bb5

                        Bb5
Nothing feels right in the wintery cold
                                    Bb5
Steam , heat, clang, and the dark at your door

All the other rooms are a party tonight
            G5                  F5
And you never got an invitation
                                          Bb5
And you feel in your bones, steady aching some more
                                Bb5
Twenty five years gone just an hour ago
                                          
Momma never told me there'd be days like these
       G5                  F5
Until it was much too late to recover


G5                                    C5            F5
And it feels like all you'd have to do is step outside
G5                                    C5          Bb5              F5
Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment that might never arrive




Bb5               G5
But you're never gonna find it
      E5                  Bb5
When your knees got so weak
     Bb5                     G5
But it's right here in case you need it
     Eb5
Like when you were young
      Bb5                            F5
And everybody used to call you lucky
       Eb5
When you were young
    Bb5                            F5
And everybody used to call you lucky


G5                                  C5                  F5
But it feels like you just might explode inside
G5
You've been pacing around and waiting
          C5            Bb5            F5
For some moment that might never arrive at all


Bb5                          G5        F5
What you don't have, you don't need it anymore
Bb5                          G5      F5            Bb5
What you don't have, you don't need it anymore


Bb5                G5
But you're never gonna find it
     Eb5                   Bb5                  F5
When your knees got so weak

      Bb5                  G5
And it's right here in case you need it
Eb5
Like when you were young
     Bb5                           F5
And everybody used to call you lucky

When you were young

And everybody used to call you lucky
