Bbmaj7Luck fell in the Ebmaj7right place for me
               Bbmaj7  Eb/F  
The day you happened to come by.
You Bbmaj7caught me feeling Ebmaj7all was useless,
              Bbmaj7  Eb/F  
And left me feeling ten feet high.
 Dbmaj7Now nothing again can be quite the Cm7same.
                               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,
 Cm7One day you're Dm7washed 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.
Bbmaj7Luck, when you Ebmaj7hold me closely.
Bbmaj7Ooh, feels like Ebsummertime.
Bbmaj7Luck, when you Ebmaj7hold 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.
