Eb                    G#m
Waiting tables at the burger stand
Eb               G#m
You were sitting alone
  G7                         Cm
I came up for your order and asked you what you want
         Fm                   Bb       Bb7
You said "do you really wanna know?"

Eb                        G#m
Just got to town I didn’t have a friend, no,
Eb                   G#m
I didn't even have a car
G7                        Cm
Down at the three clubs I wrote you a poem
Fm                  Bb            Bb7
And you bought the drinks at the bar


[Chorus]

N.C.    Eb
Oh then you
                  G#
Fell in love with me
Bb
Yes you did
    Eb                G#
You took me to A from Z
Bb
Yes you did
          Eb        D         Db    C7
There was something you could see
      Cm            G7
I was broken, I was poor,
Eb                       F7
And you said I could be yours
G#                    Bb   Bb7
Though I don't have a dime
     Fm       Bb        Eb
Even bums get lucky sometimes


Eb G# Bb  x2


[Verse]

Eb                  G#m
I have never been a hero
Eb                         G#m
I can't pretend to  have a plan
     G7                Cm
No I just want to be a regular guy
     Fm                   Bb   Bb7
Does that mean I could be your man

Eb                  G#m
Not strong or fast, wasn’t good in school
Eb                  G#m
Yes when I sing I’m flat or sharp
G7                 Cm
Then you took your aim at me
        Fm              Bb         Bb7
And you shot your arrow through my heart


[Chorus]

N.C.    Eb
Oh when you
                  G#
Fell in love with me
Bb
Yes you did
    Eb                G#
You took me to A from Z
Bb
Yes you did
          Eb        D         Db    C7
There was something you could see
   Cm         G7
Oh I found my key
         Eb            F7
We’re in perfect harmony
     G#              Bb    Bb7
With every verse and rhyme
     Fm       Bb        Eb
Even bums get lucky sometimes


[Instrumental]

Eb G#m Bb
Eb G#m Bb
Eb D Db C7


[Post-Chorus]

Cm                   G7
Well I don’t deserve nothing
    Eb                F7
But sometimes you get something
     G#               Bb
Yeah just for hanging around
     Fm       Bb        Eb
Even bums get lucky sometimes

G# Bb              Eb    G# Bb
        Lucky sometimes
     Fm       Bb
Even bums get lucky
     Eb
Sometimes
