   D                                     G

1.     Lucky at love, well, maybe so

D                                                   Gm

    there's still a lot of things you'll never know

D                                               G               A           D    - Gm

    like why each time the sky begins to snow you cry.

D                                                G

    You're faithful to her in your careless way,

D                                              Gm

    so you miss her when she's far away,

D                                                     G         A              D

    but every time you think you've got it straight you fall.

 

+  D - G   - D - Gm - A

 

    D                                             G

2.    You face the future with a weary past,

D                                                           Gm

    those dreams you banked upon are fading fast,

D                                                   G        A              D     - Gm - A

    you know you love her but it may not last, your fear.

D                                        G

    It's never easy and it's never clear

D                                        Gm

    who's to navigate and who's to steer,

D                                        G       A           D      - G

    so you flounder drifting ever near the rocks.

 

  Bm                                   E

+     It's hard to say where love went wrong,

D                     G             D               G

    it's hard to say just when, it's so hard to say !

Bm                             E                              Em                  Gm

    It's hard to walk away from love, it may never come again.

 

   D                                                    G

3.    You do your best to keep your hand in play,

D                                                      Gm

    and try to keep those lonesome blues at bay,

D                                                       G         A            D      - G

    you think you're winning but it's hard to say sometimes.

 

+  D - G - D - Gm (2x)

 

  Bm                                   E

    It's hard to walk away from love, it may never come again.

 

   D                                    G

4.    Lucky at love, well, maybe so,

D                                                   Gm

    there's still a lot of things you'll never know,

D                                              G               A            D   - G

    like why each time the sky begins to snow you cry.

             D    - Gm

   You cry,

                                         D     - G - D

    whoa, you still have to cry !
