The Luckiest Lyrics
by Ben Folds
___________________________________Easy if you hold Chord: e|--7--|
~For the rest of the song, the drop D gets in the way. So
you have to alter the chords =/ but it still sounds cool.
~Also, try to pick in the pattern of the piano, I was too lazy
to put all of it down, so I just gave the chords to hold while
you experiment with the picking.
VERSE 1:
I don't get many things right the first time
in fact I am told that a lot. Now I know all the wrong turns
the stumbles and falls brought me here
CHORUS:
And where was I before the day that I first saw your lovely face?
now I see it every day
And I know, that I am, I am, I am, the luckiest
VERSE 2:
What if I'd been born 50 years before you
in a house on the street where you live? Maybe I'd be outside
as you pass on your bike would I know?
CHORUS:
And in a wide sea of eyes, I'd see one pair that I'd recognize
And I know, that I am, I am, I am, the luckiest
BRIDGE:
I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you.
VERSE 3:
Next door there's an old man who lived to his 90's
and one day passed away in his sleep. And his wife
she stayed for a couple of days and passed away.
CHORUS:
I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong.
That I know, that I am, I am, I am...
...the luckiest.
