With every other life you could have lived, in your head
A
You try as you might, but the house always wins
And the cage around your heart is lookin’ ugly as sin
F# B
So I spent all my money, and I’m miles from home
C# A E
But I hope this good luck never leaves me alone
E
Everybody has a little hate for themselves
When they’re trying to live for someone, but they’re somebody else
A
Watching their dreams slowly circle the sink
C# A E
Their eyes all blurry from the tears in the drink
F# B
So I spent all my money, and I’m miles from home
C# A E
But I hope this good luck never leaves me alone
F# B
Yeah I tried to stop drinking so the shakes wouldn’t show
C# A E
And I hope this good luck never leaves me alone
E
You’re landing in a city and you hope for the best
It’s the only thing that’s ever going to see through the mess
A
There’s a hospital building, and a shallow grave
C# A E
And the cost of living means there’s nothing left here to save
F# B
So I spent all my money, and I’m miles from home
C# A E
But I hope this good luck never leaves me alone
F# B
Yeah I tried to stop drinking so the shakes wouldn’t show
C# A E
And I hope this good luck never leaves me alone
F# B
And waiting’s just another way of failing to grow
C# A E
So I hope this good luck never leaves me alone
