The Lucky One

D
new to town with a made up name
       Bm
in the angel's city chasing fortune and fame
        G                                  D     A
and the camera flashes make it look like a dream
D
you had it figured out since you were in school
     Bm
everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool
    G                              D    A
so overnight, you look like a 60s queen
      G             Bm
another name goes up in lights
      G              A
like diamonds in the sky...

[Chorus]
D
and they'll tell you now
           A
you're the lucky one
G
yeah, they'll tell you now
          A
you're the lucky one
    D
but can you tell me now
           A
you're the lucky one
G          D
oh, oh, oooh...

[Verse]
 D
now it's big black cars and riviera views
         Bm
and your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you
         G                                         D     A
and your secrets end up splashed on the news front page
         D
and they tell you that you're lucky but you're so confused
          Bm
cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used
    G                                         D        A
and all the young things line up to take your place
        G               Bm
another name goes up in lights
                     G            A
you wonder if you'll make it out alive

[Chorus]
D
and they'll tell you now
            A
you're the lucky one
G
yeah, they'll tell you now
            A
you're the lucky one
    D
but can you tell me now
           A
you're the lucky one
G           D   A   G
oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh
 D  A    G
oh, ooh, oh, oh

[Verse]
         D
it was a few years later I showed up here
         Bm
and they still tell the legend of how you disappeared
        G                                                D    A
how you took the money and your dignity and got the hell out
D
they say you bought a bunch of land somewhere
        Bm
chose the Rose Garden over Madison Square
       G                                   D           A
and it took some time, but I understand it now...
             G             Bm
cause now my name is up in lights
      G                A
but I think you got it right

[Chorus]
D
let me tell you now
          A
you're the lucky one
G
let me tell you now
           A
you're the lucky one
D
let me tell you now
          A
you're the lucky one
G
oh, oh, oh...

D
yeah, they'll tell you now
           A
you're the lucky one
G
yeah, they'll tell you now
           A
you're the lucky one
D
let me tell you now
           A
you're the lucky one
G           D   A   G
oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, oh....
