Luck fell in the right place for me
Bbmaj7 Eb/F
The day you happened to come by.
Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7
You caught me feeling all was useless,
Bbmaj7 Eb/F
And left me feeling ten feet high.
Dbmaj7 Cm7
Now nothing again can be quite the same.
Dbmaj7 Fm7 Eb/F
You gather my fears, and threw them away.
Luck dropped in, just at the right time;
The time when I felt most alone.
All my dreams had seemed to vanish.
Now my nightmares have upped and gone.
I'm not scared of farewells. Nothing's the same twice.
I stride through the day, and float through the night.
Ebmaj7 Dm7 Gm7 Ab/Bb
How much choice do we have in this?
Ebmaj7 Dmaj7 Gm7 Ab/Bb
Like some almighty hand, smashing your life into pieces,
Cm7 Dm7
One day you're washed and drowned
Ebmaj7 Eb/F
And the next day you're put back on the land.
Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7 Eb/F (x2)
Now nothing again can be quite the same.
I gather my fears and I throw them away.
Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7
Luck, when you hold me closely.
Bbmaj7 Eb
Ooh, feels like summertime.
Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7
Luck, when you hold my hand.
Bbmaj7 Eb/F
I want it all the time.
Luck, in your country kisses.
Ooh, I love your outlook.
Luck, in your hills and valleys.
Go on talking, my babbling brook.
