[Verso 1]
G C G
I've never bought a lottery ticket
Em D C
But sometimes late at night, when I'm bored
G C G
Think about the high life I'd be livin'
Em D C
All the silly things I could afford
G D G
A house in L.A. and one by the beach
G D G Em
Cars that go fast and a parrot that speaks
C Em D A C
I'd snap my fingers and have anything that I want
[Refrão]
Em C G
I could date someone young when I start to feel old
Em C G
I'd throw all these parties for people I don't know
Em C G
They'd come for the money, but never for me
A D G
Oh, I'm lucky I don't play the lottery
[Pós-Refrão]
G D
(Ah-ah)
C D
(Ah-a)
[Verso 2]
G C G
I bet I'd probably start feelin' empty
Em D G
So I'd grab a pen and writ a check
G C G
To the latest and gratest foundation
Em D C
For some recent world crisis event
G D G
My lovers and friends and family too (Family too)
G D G Em
They'd all disappear, but out of the blue (Out of the blue)
C Em D A C
Start askin' for money, intending to sue for all I've got
[Refrão]
Em C G
But all of the glamor would start to get old
Em C G
My kids would fight over the will, so I'm told
Em C G
And they would come for the money, but never for me
A D
Oh, I'm lucky I don't play the lottery
[Ponte]

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da (Ah)

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da (Ah, oh, oh-oh)
Em C G
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da (Ah)
A D G
Oh, I'm lucky I don't play the lottery
Outro:
Em C G
So I'll take my apartment, the same pair of jeans
Em C G
I don't need tons of people, crowds aren't for me
Em C G
Sometimes, the winners lose everything
A D G
And I'm lucky I don't play the lottery
