G   C
My girlfriend left me
G   D
With my house and my car
G   C
A shadow comes over me
D   G
Because that is so hard

   C
Every time the same story
G   D
The same story in every song
G   C
And everybody?s the only one
D   G
Who?s treated wrong

   C
On the other hand
G   D
I should show you respect
G   C
Because I don?t know
D   G
How to write songs so sad

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

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

   C
Okay I promise now
G   D
To do all I can
G   C
To write some other songs
D   G
Those are no more rants

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

   C
Well I could forget the lyrics
G   D
And write some others
G   C
But isn?t it prodigality
D   G
Even if the songs are of bad quality

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

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