[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]

        An                                 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
