Good Luck! Intro---E----D----A----E----D Verse 1

 A
The house caught on fire in the winter

      D
the bosses lay slain

D
and each of the workers decided

      A
to ten-fold their pay

and they saw in the mirror

      D
the sun had been shot down in flames

       A
and nobody minded the hole in the sky or the rain

Refrain:-

A      E
but it doesnt really matter

D              A
when the judgements are said

      E
'cos we all take our chances

   D   A
to find our romances in some others bed

      E
and you might burn your fingers

D                    A
hook your best friends rings for those

      E
who'd have you standing naked

      D   A
then publicly auction the use of a hose

Verse 2

  A
all the children where laughing

      D
their faces in half at the pain

of the girl who loved talking to walls

      A
and jumping at trains

and the words that ring true

      D
in the playground of fools will remain

      A
and nobody minded the hole in the sky or the rain

Refrain 2:-

A      E
but it doesnt really matter

D      A
when the rights have been read

      E
'cos we all take our chances to glance

    D     A
at the wife in the opposite bed

       E   D A
and I bet Nero and Pilate   could easily explain

      E  D
how policemen and pirates get stoned in glass houses

      A
just finding their way.
