[Intro]
C Am G (x2)
[Verse 1]
C
It took so long to get me back on my feet
C
It takes so long to find the words and the beat
C
And Charlie's waiting on the end of the phone
Am G
To hear you call on him to try to recapture
C
But them old records won't be saving your soul
C
And them feelings died for reasons you know
C
That you've forgotten somewhere riding a train
Am G
To a place you bought out in BaCoCa
[Pre-chorus]
Am Dm G
And it feels like all you'd have to do is step outside
Am Dm
Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment
C G
That might never arrive
[Chorus]
C Am
But you're never gonna find it
F
Like when you were young
C G
And everybody used to call you lucky
[Interlude]
C
[Verse 2]
C
Nothing feels right in the wintery cold
C
Steam, heat, clang, and the dark at your door
C
All the other rooms are a party tonight
Am G
And you never got an invitation
C
And you feel it in your bones Steady aching some more
C
Twenty five years gone just an hour ago
C
Momma never told me there'd be days like these
Am G
Until it was much too late to recover
[Pre-chorus]
Am Dm G
And it feels like all you'd have to do is step outside
Am Dm
Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment
C G
That might never arrive
[Chorus]
C Am
But you're never gonna find it
F C G
When your knees got so weak
C Am
But it's right here in case you need it
F
Like when you were young
C G
And everybody used to call you lucky
F
When you were young
C G
And everybody used to call you lucky
[Bridge]
Am Dm G
But it feels like you just might explode inside
Am
You've been pacing around and waiting
Dm C G F
For some moment that might never arrive at all
Am G F
What you don't have, you don't need it anymore
Am G F G
What you don't have, you don't need it anymore
[Chorus]
C Am
But you're never gonna find it
F C G
When your knees got so weak
C Am
And it's right here in case you need it
F
Like when you were young
C G
And everybody used to call you lucky
F
When you were young
C G
And everybody used to call you lucky
[Outro]
C
If you're anywhere in Manhattan, in the next eight days or so
C
Let me know. Speak soon, stay lucky.
