Ben Folds – The Luckiest (Guitar)

D       A        D                G
I don't get many things right the first time

   D          Bm          C  
In fact, I am told that a lot

      A            A/C#
Now I know all the wrong turns,

    D            G                D    Bm   F#m  Asus4  A 
The stumbles and falls brought me here

Bm            G            Bm
And where was I before the day

             E               A
That I first saw your lovely face

      F#m          G  
Now I see it every day

    Asus4 A
And I     know

     D A
That I am

Bm F#m
I  am

G Asus4 A     D        A
I am      the luckiest

        D        A
What if I'd been born

D             G
Fifty years before you

     D
In a house

       Bm               C
On the street where you live

      A         A/C#
Maybe I'd be outside

       D              G
As you passed on your bike

        D      Bm    F#m    Assu4  A 
Would I know?

Bm       G           Bm
And in a wide sea of eyes

      E             A      F#m     G   Gsus2   G
I see one pair that I recognize

    D A
And I know

     D A
That I am

Bm F#m
I  am

G Asus4 A     D        A
I am      the luckiest

Em                            Bm
I love you more than I have

                 A  D          G    D/A   A
Ever found a way to say to you

        D
Next door

           A
There's an old man

    D            G
Who lived to his nineties

        D            Bm         C    
And one day, passed away in his sleep

        A         A/C#
And his wife, she stayed

      D         G                D   Bm  F#m  Asus4  A  
For a couple of days and passed away

Bm         G
I'm sorry, I know that's a 

Bm             E               A
Strange way to tell you that I know

     F#m      G  
We belong

     D A
That I know

     D A
That I am

Bm F#m
I  am

G Asus4 A    Bm         F#m   G    D/A    A    D
I am     the luckiest
