The Lucky

INTRO: G C G D G C D
G Cadd9 G
If time heals all wounds, then I should be a healthy man
Cadd9 D
For doing what I've done, and being who I am
G Cadd9 G
I cannot be held responsible if you confuse me with my old self
C G D D/F# G
I've taken that jackal by the chain and put him up on the shelf
G Cadd9 G
Oh it's taken me a while to sweep the dust out of my hair
Cadd9 D
It'll take me even longer to figure out which suit to wear
G Cadd9 G
And my heart may need a booster shot and a vaccine for my life
C G D D/F# G
But I swear that it won't break again, not even on the darkest night
CHORUS:
G Cadd9 D G Cadd9 D G
I am finally seeing what the blind can only dream, ripping the shadows from sights unseen
Cadd9 D C
Opening the shutters to let the sun shine in
G Cadd9 D G Cadd9 D
Tell the undertaker to bite his tongue, tell him I am not the one
G C D G Cadd9-G
The lucky are the ones who live again
SOLO
G Cadd9 G
My eyes have opened to the sun, my demons went back home
Cadd9 D
And as I look around I wonder why it's fools who live alone
G Cadd9 G
Searching for what they cannot find, and needing it more and more
C G D D/F# G
And if they find it they wonder what the hell they're gonna use it for
G Cadd9 G
I'm gonna get myself a girl, one I can trust with all my heart
Cadd9 D
And who'll pick up the missing pieces should my world fall apart
G Cadd9 G
I'm gonna get myself the fastest car and take corners at ninety-five
C G D/ G
Laughing and screaming at the top of my lungs, Yes I am alive!
CHORUS
G Cadd9 D G Cadd9 D
Tell the undertaker to bite his tongue, tell him I am not the one
G C D G Cadd9-G
The lucky are the ones who live again
G C D G Cadd9-G
The lucky are the ones who live again
G C D G Cadd9-G
Yes the lucky are the ones who live again
G C G D
G C D
I'm alive again.......
G C G D
G C D
I'm alive again.......
G C G D G C D C G
