Chords

[Intro] G G D G [Verse 1]
G
  Once upon a way back when

G
  Misery was my best friend

D
  Always running from a misspent youth

G                                     C G
  Cold and empty as a pay phone booth

G
  I might have known a girl or two

G
  But nothing even close to you

D
  Anyone with eyes could see

G
  I’d had about enough of me
[Chorus]
C          G             C                D
  How many tiiiimes have - I heard myself say

G
  If I hadn’t got lucky - if I hadn’t had you on my side

D                               G
  I wouldn’t be standing here today
[Verse 2]
G
  Before you came into my world

G
  I just couldn’t get my flag unfurled

D
  Any wind to find my sail

G                          C G
  Was moving me to no avail

G
  The thing about the man I was

G
  Lonely is as lonely does

D
  Every day a blinding blur

G
  That was just the ways things were
[Chorus]
C          G             C                D
  How many tiiiimes have - I heard myself say

G
  If I hadn’t got lucky - if I hadn’t had you on my side

D                               G
  I wouldn’t be standing here today
[Break] G G D G G G D G [Bridge]
D                      G
  You never did try to tie me down

D                       G            G#
  And every last time I came unwound

A                           A7
  You didn’t try to tame or shame or frame or game or try to lay blame

D                D7
  Whenever I was deep in doubt

G                    D
  You let me find my own way out
[Verse 3]
G
  This is what it comes down to

G
  I learned to be myself with you

D
  Now and then I feel so good

G                                    C G
  I could learn to live in Hollywood

G                                 G
  It’s not like we can change the world

G
  We're just another boy and girl

D
  Growing old together on Sunday

G
  Going back to work on Monday
[Chorus]
C          G             C                D
  How many tiiiimes have - I heard myself say

G
  If I hadn’t got lucky - if I hadn’t had you on my side

D                               G
  I wouldn’t be standing here today
[Outro]
G
  If I hadn’t got lucky - if I hadn’t had you on my side

D                               G
  I wouldn’t be standing here today
