Lyrics:
D#m                            Db
If I'm lucky enough, I'll see fogs lift with suns
                    Abm
As we roll to play a show in Carolina, Oklahoma, or Chicago
D#m                                 Db
I'll grow to know the road to home in places far away
                   Abm
Wrinkled, bald, and beat to shit, to never waste a day
D#m                              Db
Enough people will hate me that I know I did it right
                   Abm
But to never meet a human being that I say that I don't like
D#m                           Db
Let me learn the hard way and cut it close sometimes
                   Abm
That youth is the attic chest where every lesson lies
D#m                           Db
I'll have some kids and teach them that we are all the same.
                   Abm
Sufferin', smilin', silhouettes of every passin' day
D#m                           Db
The love I have will always be something my friends yearn
                   Abm
My memories were never cheap and never easy earned
D#m                           Db
I hope to choke on Jack and Coke in a bar during northern winter
                   Abm
On a night the band was tight, and right as rooftop lights flicker
D#m                           Db
If I'm lucky enough, I'll understand losing someone close
                   Abm
I'll clench my teeth on New Year's Eve and try to talk to ghosts
D#m                           Db
I'll stumble through a market on a Sunday in June
                   Abm
Smell the salt and asphalt on a Sunday afternoon
D#m                           Db
I reckon I'd be lucky if I made it half as far
                   Abm
To only die on hills that are closest to my heart
D#m                           Db
If I'm lucky enough, notebooks will be strewn across my room
                   Abm
I'll play catch on green grass where springtime flowers bloom
D#m                           Db
If I'm lucky enough, I'lI| tell the truth every chance I get
                   Abm
'Cause smiles faked to appease another is worth ten regrets
D#m                           Db
If I'm lucky enough, I| will get through hard things
                   Abm
And they will make me gentle to the ways of the world
D#m                           Db
If I'm lucky enough, I'lI| have the courage to leave and go
                   Abm
Wherever my beatin' heart tells me to go
D#m                           Db
If I'm lucky enough, I'lI| get high and invite a guitar player over
                   Abm
And he'll play sweet notes until a New York City rooftop sun rises
D#m                           Db
I'll meet some kids at school that still know how to play instruments
                   Abm
If I'm lucky enough, I will make it exactly to where I'm taking this breath now
D#m                           Db
Lay my head upon the earth and laugh at passing clouds
                   Abm
If I'm lucky enough, I'll remember the shaky things we've seen
D#m                           Db
