IntroEE
New to town with a made up name
C#m
In the angel city chasing fortune and fame
AE
And the camera flashes make it look like a dream
E
You had it figured out since you were in school
C#m
Everybody loves pretty everybody loves cool
AE (B)
So overnight you look like a sixties' queen
A
Another name goes up in lights
B
Like diamonds in the sky
E
And they'll tell you now
B
You're the lucky one
A
Yeah they'll tell you now
You're the lucky one
E
But can you tell me now
BAE
You're the lucky one oh oh ohhh
E
Now it's big black cars and Riviera views
C#m
And your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you
AE (B)
And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page
E
And they tell you that you're lucky
But you're so confused
C#m
Cause you don't feel pretty you just feel used
AE (B)
And all the young things line up to take your place
A
Another name goes up in lights
B
You wonder if you'll make it out alive
E
And they'll tell you now
B
You're the lucky one
A
Yeah they'll tell you now
You're the lucky one
E
But can you tell me now
BA
You're the lucky one oh oh ohhh
EBAEBAEE
It was a few years later I showed up here
C#m
And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared
AE (B)
How they took the money and your dignity and got the hell out
E
They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere
C#m
Chose the Rose Garden over Madison Square
AE (B)
And it took some time but I understand it now
A
Cause now my name is up in lights
B
But I think you got it right
E
Let me tell you now
B
You're the lucky one
A
Let me tell you now
You're the lucky one
E
Let me tell you now
BA
You're the lucky one oh oh ohhh
E
Yeah they'll tell you now
B
You're the lucky one
A
Yeah they'll tell you now
You're the lucky one
E
But can you tell me now
BAEBA
You're the lucky one oh oh ohhh
