C F C G C

C                        F        C
i don't remember were we wild and young

C                     G    C
all that's faded into memory

C                    F       C
i feel like somebody i don't know

C                    G       C
are we really who we used to be

C                 G   C
am i really who i was


    F                    Am
the lights will draw you in

        F                   C    G
and the dark will bring you down

         F                     Am
and the night will break your heart

                G
only if you're lucky now


C F C  C G C

C                         F         C
waiting outside while you find your keys

C                           G        C
like bags of trash in the blackening snow

C                     F        C
city of neon and toes that freeze

C                     G       C
we got nothing and nowhere to go

C                  G     C
we got nothing and nowhere


F                    Am
the lights will draw you in

        F                   C    G
and the dark will take you down

         F                     Am
and the night will break your heart

                G
only if you're lucky now


       F               Am
if the lights draw you in

        F                 C  G
and the dark can take you down

      F                 Am
then love can mend your heart

                    G
but only if you're lucky now

  4. @chadzilla -- it's in the key of Eb major on the album (capo 3) but i have noticed that DRA has been playing Lucky now in E major (capo 4) during live performances. good catch.
