But we'll never really mind

The lottery result that we've been crossing our fingers for

D#                   Cm                      D#
We could paint our walls a lighter shade of blue

D#                   Cm                          G#
Or we could pack our bags and change the entire view

To January white

To change the heart in which we change our minds

But the future is brighter than any flasback

We could trust that when there's joy, there's nothing dark behind

G#   A#      Cm  D#
In spite of history
