Am    G        F         Am  G    F
"You look like Clara Bow in this light
Remarkable
Am   G  F
All your life, did you know

Am    G F
You'd be picked like a rose"
[Pre-chorus]
F                     G
"I'm not trying to exaggerate

                    F
But I think I might die if it happened

                     Am
Die if it happened to me

F                  G
No one in my small town

                    Am                 F
Thought I'd see the lights of Manhattan
[Chorus]
      C            G
"This town is fake but
You're the real thing
Am                  F
Breath of fresh air through smoke rings

 C              G
Take the glory, give everything

Am             C
Promise to be dazzling"
Am G F Am G F [Verse 2]
Am   G        F
"You look like Stevie Nicks

   Am G F
In '75, the hair and lips

Am    G        F
Crowd goes wild at her fingertips

Am   G    F 
Half moonshine, a full eclipse"
[Pre-chorus]
F                       G
"I'm not trying to exaggerate

Die if I made it

F                  G
No one in my small town

                        Am
Thought I'd meet these suits in LA,

    F
They all want to say ..."
[Chorus]

"This town is fake but
You're the real thing
Am                  F
Breath of fresh air through smoke rings

 C              G
Take the glory, give everything

Am             C
Promise to be dazzling"

    C                 G
"The crown is stained but you're the real queen

Am                  F
Flesh and blood amongst war machines

C                  G
You're the new god we're worshipping

Am                F
Promise to be ... dazzling"
(The Lucky One) (Same strumming) [Verse]
        C
Now it's big black cars and Riviera views

         Am
And your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you

        F                                          C   G
And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page

         C
And they tell you that you're lucky, but you're so confused

            Am
'Cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used

    F                                         C    G
And all the young things line up to take your place
[Pre-chorus]
        F
Another name goes up in lights

                                   G
You wonder if you'll make it out alive
(Strumming change) [Chorus]
C                                    G
And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

F
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

C                                    G
Can you tell me now you're the lucky one?

F                    C      G
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

G      F         
Oh-oh-oh-oh

F        C      G
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

G     F
oh-oh-oh-oh
(Clara Bow) [Bridge]
C                      G
Beauty is a beast that roars

            Am
Down on all fours

          C
Demanding "more"

C                        G
Only when your girlish glow

              Am
Flickers just so

                C
Do they let you know

    Am       G       C
It's hell on earth to be heavenly

Am          G
Them's the breaks

C
They don't come gently
(The Lucky One) [Verse]
        C
It was a few years later, I showed up here

Am
And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared

          F                                             C    G
How you took the money and your dignity and got the hell out

C
They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere

            Am
Chose the Rose Garden over Madison Square

                  F                        C   G
And it took some time, but I understand it now

              F
'Cause now my name is up in lights

                         G
But I think you got it right

C                                    G
And they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

F
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one

C                                    G
Can you tell me now you're the lucky one?

F                    C      G
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

G        F         
Oh-oh-oh-oh

F        C      G
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

G     F
oh-oh-oh-oh
F G F (Clara Bow) [Verse] (go back to first strumming)
Am   G       F
"You look like Taylor Swift

Am  G       F
In this light
We're loving it.
Am    G      F
You've got edge she never did

Am  G          F
The future's bright

             C
... Dazzling."
