The Lucky One

D
new to town with a made up name
       Bm
in the angel's city chasing fortune 
and fame
        G                          
and the camera flashes make it look
        D     A
 like a dream
D
you had it figured out since you 
were in school
     Bm
everybody loves pretty, everybody 
loves cool
    G                            
so overnight, you look like a 60s 
  D    A
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                         
and your secrets end up splashed on
                D     A
 the news front page
Continues after the ad
         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                              
and all the young things line up to
           D        A
 take your place
        G               Bm
another name goes up in lights
                     G          
you wonder if you'll make it out 
  A
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                      
how you took the money and your 
                          D    A
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                    
and it took some time, but I 
               D           A
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....
