[Intro]
Em | Em | D | G |
Em | Em | D | G |
 
[Verse 1]
Em
I can tell by your tone that you're telling the truth
D G
But it doesn't line up with my image of you
Em
Would you mind very much if I added some spice?
D G
Some sugar and cream and all things nice
Em
There's a twist in your tale that doesn't sit right
D G
A spectrum that dance with black and white
Em
Well, I've bitten my lip, I've held my tongue
D G
But I'm still here, you lucky one
 
[Instrumental]
Em | Em | D | G |
 
[Chorus]
Em D G
You lucky one
 
[Verse 2]
Em
Take me back to the start, before the lot
D G
Were you always aware of the gift you've got?
Em
Were you wandering lost outside of the norm?
D G
Am I getting the gist? Am I getting warm?
Em
You're gonna have to help me if you want a hand
D G
Well, I'm here for you, but I'm a busy man
Em
So step out of the shade and into the sun
D G
I'm listening, you lucky one
 
[Instrumental]
Em | Em | D | G |
 
[Chorus]
Em D G
You lucky one
 
[Verse 3]
Em
You've been off the grid, cutting your teeth
D G
Supposedly composing your masterpiece
Em
If you give good copy, then I'll cut you some slack
D G
But you better remember when it all comes back
Em
And you're lying on the corner of Merchant's Quay
D G
Telling the world how it's meant to be
Em
Well, I'll pick you up and I'll take you on
D G
I promise you, you lucky one
 
[Instrumental]
Em | Em | D | G |
 
[Chorus]
Em D G
You lucky one
 
[Verse 4]
Em
I can tell by your tone that you're starting to lie
D G
Am I such a bore? Am I such a drag?
Em
I could rip you to shreds, but I'm much too nice
D G
So while you're here, take my advice
Em
Don't let the truth get in the way
D G
A story's a story, and anyway
Em
Your foot's in the door, so give me some
D G
You parasite, you lucky one
 
[Instrumental]
Em | Em | D | G |
 
[Chorus]
Em D G
You lucky one
Em D G
You lucky one
Em D G
You lucky one
 
[Outro]
Em D G
You lucky one
(Don't let the truth get in the way)
Em D G
You lucky one
(Don't let the truth get in the way)
Em D G
You lucky one
(Don't let the truth get in the way)
Em D G
You lucky one
(Don't let the truth get in the way)
N.C.
You lucky one
