Intro: D

D     F#m7    Bm         G            D      A11/C#      F#m7
   Look at me,   I'm the one who got away, the one who could've shone
G                            D              A11/C#             G
   I tried to do my best, but  I guess your best don't last for long
G9  G  G9

D     F#m7   Bm          G                D     A11/C#             F#m7
   Look at me,  standing with my tattered pride of toothless little lions
G                              D            A11/C#                    G  G9  A
   We try to make a difference,  do something no-one else had tried

           Bm     G               D   A11/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  G9  A                       D  A11/C#
If you're not getting lucky,         you're just getting by
Bm  G  A  A7  A6

D     F#m7   Bm       G             D       A11/C#          F#m7
   Look at me,  is it written on my face, the luxuries I've known?
G                          D               A11/C#                G     G9  A
   Am I a foreign presence,  some place that used to be my home?

           Bm    G               D A11/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  G9  A                      D  A11/C#
If you're not getting lucky,         you're just getting by
Bm

             G6            C                     Bm
And in that weightlessness    that comes with good luck
F#7                   Em           E                     E4
    The one thing you don't expect   is feeling the drop

D     F#m7   Bm        G            D      A11/C#           F#m7
   Look at me, I'm the one who got away, and then came crawling back
G                          D         A11/C#               G     G9  A
   I try to do my best, but  I guess I never had the knack

          Bm     G               D   A11/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  G9  A                          G  G9  A
If you're not getting lucky,         if you're not getting lucky
          D  A11/C#       Bm          G            A  A7
You're just getting by,                 you're just getting by
        A6    D  A11/C#  Bm
Just getting by
G              A  A7  A6
Just getting by.
