[Intro]

C majorC A minorAm G+G (x2)

[Verse 1]

C majorC
It took so long to get me back on my feet
C majorC
It takes so long to find the words and the beat
C majorC
And Charlie's waiting on the end of the phone
       A minorAm           G+G
To hear you call on him to try to recapture
C majorC
But them old records won't be saving your soul
C majorC
And them feelings died for reasons you know
C majorC
That you've forgotten somewhere riding a train
   A minorAm            G+G
To a place you bought out in BaCoCa

[Pre-chorus]

    A minorAm                     DmDm  G+G
And it feels like all you'd have to do is step outside
   A minorAm                 DmDm
Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment
   C majorC      G+G
That might never arrive

[Chorus]

      C majorC      A minorAm
But you're never gonna find it
          FF
Like when you were young
     C majorC           G+G
And everybody used to call you lucky

[Interlude]

C majorC

[Verse 2]

C majorC
Nothing feels right in the wintery cold
C majorC
Steam, heat, clang, and the dark at your door
C majorC
All the other rooms are a party tonight
     A minorAm       G+G
And you never got an invitation
C majorC
And you feel it in your bones Steady aching some more
C majorC
Twenty five years gone just an hour ago
C majorC
Momma never told me there'd be days like these
       A minorAm        G+G
Until it was much too late to recover

[Pre-chorus]

    A minorAm                    DmDm  G+G
And it feels like all you'd have to do is step outside
   A minorAm                 DmDm
Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment
   C majorC      G+G
That might never arrive

[Chorus]

      C majorC      A minorAm
But you're never gonna find it
      FF      C majorC G+G
When your knees got so weak
     C majorC           A minorAm
But it's right here in case you need it
          FF
Like when you were young
     C majorC           G+G
And everybody used to call you lucky
        FF
When you were young
     C majorC           G+G
And everybody used to call you lucky

[Bridge]

    An                 DmDm  G+G
But it feels like you just might explode inside
       A minorAm
You've been pacing around and waiting
     DmDm     C majorC      G+G     FF
For some moment that might never arrive at all
     A minorAm          G+G     FF
What you don't have, you don't need it anymore
     A minorAm          G+G     FF  G+G
What you don't have, you don't need it anymore

[Chorus]

      C majorC      A minorAm
But you're never gonna find it
      FF      C majorC G+G
When your knees got so weak
     C majorC           A minorAm
And it's right here in case you need it
          FF
Like when you were young
     C majorC           G+G
And everybody used to call you lucky
        FF
When you were young
     C majorC           G+G
And everybody used to call you lucky

[Outro]

      C majorC
If you're anywhere in Manhattan, in the next eight days or so
    C majorC
