VERSE1
D     F#m7    Bm         G            D      DM7sus2/C#    F#m7
   Look at me,   I'm the one who got away, the one who could've shone
G                            D              DM7sus2/C#         G
   I tried to do my best, but  I guess your best don't last for long
Gsus2  G  Gsus2

VERSE2
D     F#m7   Bm          G                D     DM7sus2/C#          F#m7
   Look at me,  standing with my tattered pride of toothless little lions
G                              D            DM7sus2/C#         G  Gsus2  A
   We try to make a difference,  do something no-one else had tried

CHORUS
           Bm     G               D   DM7sus2/C#  G
But if you see me walking and you're wondering   why
     F#7                       Bm
Well it's just the business of life
          Bm/A          G  Gsus2  A                       D  DM7sus2/C# 
If you're not getting lucky,         you're just getting by
Bm  G  A  A7  A6

VERSE3
D     F#m7   Bm       G             D       DM7sus2/C#     F#m7
   Look at me,  is it written on my face, the luxuries I've known?
G                          D               DM7sus2/C#     G     Gsus2  A
   Am I a foreign presence,  some place that used to be my home?

CHORUS
           Bm    G               D DM7sus2/C#  G
So if you see me walking, just a regular       guy
     F#7                       Bm
Well it's just the business of life
          Bm/A          G  Gsus2  A                      D  DM7sus2/C# 
If you're not getting lucky,         you're just getting by
Bm

BRIDGE
             G6            C                     Bm
And in that weightlessness    that comes with good luck
F#7                   Em           E                     Esus4
    The one thing you don't expect   is feeling the drop

VERSE4
D     F#m7   Bm        G            D      DM7sus2/C#     F#m7
   Look at me, I'm the one who got away, and then came crawling back
G                          D         DM7sus2/C#      G     Gsus2  A
   I try to do my best, but  I guess I never had the knack

CHORUS
          Bm     G               D   DM7sus2/C#  G
So if you see me walking and you're wondering   why
     F#7                       Bm
Well it's just the business of life
         Bm/A           G  Gsus2  A                          G  Gsus2  A
If you're not getting lucky,         if you're not getting lucky
          D  DM7sus2/C#  Bm          G            A  A7
You're just getting by,                 you're just getting by
        A6    D  DM7sus2/C#  Bm
Just getting by
G              A  A7  A6
Just getting by.
