[Chorus]
D
Woke a dog from a running dream And that's bad luck (Bad luck)

Em
Ate a black fly in the cream And that's bad luck (Bad, bad luck)

D
Chipped my tooth on an engagement ring And that's bad luck (Bad luck)

Em
Could have stopped any one of these things But that would have been

D

[Verse 1]
[tab]D
Are you tired of things going right?

F#m
Things going wrong?

A
Tired of trying to make everyone happy?

D
Too tired to sing your own songs
[Verse 2]
D
Do you wish you could stop everything

F#m
And take back your love?

A
Say you're sorry that you gave it up so easy

D
And cry like you're trying to be born?
[Chorus]
D
Woke a dog from a running dream And that's bad luck (Bad luck)

[Bridge]
D
So I died and went to work
So I died and went to work
Bm
It's not as bad as I thought it would be

But it's still pretty bad luck

It's not as bad as I thought it would be

But it's still pretty bad luck

[Verse 3]
D                       A
And love, the most contrary asset of them all

A
Dragging in on nature's coattails

A
Acting like it wrote the moon

A
Trying to pass riddles as poetry

A                   D
Embargo is love's waiting room
[Verse 4]
D
And meantime

                A
Right here in human time

F#m
My heart could break for a one-legged seagull

     Bm           Bm/A       Gmaj7               D
And still afford nothing to you (That's bad luck)
