D                           C
  If I'm lucky enough, I'll see fogs lift with suns

                     G6
As we roll to play a show in Carolina, Oklahoma, or Chicago

D                       C
  I'll grow to know the road to home in places far away

                    G6
Wrinkled, bald, and beat to shit, to never waste a day

D                                   C
  Enough people will hate me that I know I did it right

                    G6
But to never meet a human being that I say that I don't like

D                               C
  Let me learn the hard way and cut it close sometimes

                  G6
That youth is the attic chest where every lesson lies

D                                         C
  I'll have some kids and teach them that we are all the same

             G6
Sufferin', smilin', silhouettes of every passin' day

D                             C
  The love I have will always be something my friends yearn

   G6
My memories were never cheap and never easy earned

D                             C
  I hope to choke on jack and coke in a bar during a northern winter

     G6
On a night the band was tight and right as rooftop lights flicker

D            C
    If I'm lucky enough, I'll understand losing someone close

     G6
I'll clench my teeth on New Year's Eve and try to talk to ghosts

D                                    C
  I'll stumble through a market on a Sunday day in June

          G6
Smell the salt and asphalt on a Sunday afternoon

D                            C
  I reckon I'd be lucky if I made it half as far

               G6
To only die on hills that are closest to my heart

D                                C
  If I'm lucky enough, notebooks will be strewn across my room

     G6
I'll play catch on green grass with spring time flowers bloom

D                                    C
  If I'm lucky enough, I'll tell the truth every chance I get

              G6
'Cause smiles faked to appease another is worth ten regrets

D                                         C
  If I'm lucky enough, I will get through hard things

                      G6
And they will make me gentle to the ways of the world

D                      G6
  If I'm lucky enough, I'll have the courage to leave and go

  G6
Wherever my beatin' heart tells me to go

D                                      C
If I'm lucky enough, I'll get high and invite a guitar player over

               G6
And he'll play sweet notes until a New York City rooftop sun rises

D                 C                                         G6
  I'll meet some kids in school that still know how to play instruments

D                           C                                               G6
  If I'm lucky enough, I'll make it exactly to where I'm taking this breath now

D                                       C
 If I'm lucky enough, I'll remember the shaky things we've seen

                       G6
Grab your beer through tears and fears, the great American bar scene
