Bb7M           Eb7M
Luck fell in the right place for me
    Bb7M           Eb/F
The day you happened to come by.
    Bb7M            Eb7M
You caught me feeling all was useless,
    Bb7M          Eb/F
And left me feeling ten feet high.

C#7M                              Cm7
 Now nothing again can be quite the same.
C#7M                               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.

Eb7M   Dm7          Gm7     Ab/Bb
How much choice do we have in this?
Eb7M      D7M        Gm7                     Ab/Bb
Like some almighty hand, smashing your life into pieces,
Cm7             Dm7
 One day you're washed and drowned
        Eb7M              Eb/F
And the next day you're put back on the land.

Bb7M Eb7M Bb7M Eb/F (x2)

Now nothing again can be quite the same.
I gather my fears and I throw them away.

Bb7M         Eb7M
Luck, when you hold me closely.
Bb7M          Eb
Ooh, feels like summertime.
Bb7M         Eb7M
Luck, when you hold my hand.
Bb7M    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.
