Intro: D 

D     F#m7    Bm         G            D      A11/C#      F#m7 
   Look at me,   I'm the one who got away, the one who could've shone 
G                            D              A11/C#             G 
   I tried to do my best, but  I guess your best don't last for long 
Gsus2  G  Gsus2 

D     F#m7   Bm          G                D     A11/C#             F#m7 
   Look at me,  standing with my tattered pride of toothless little lions 
G                              D            A11/C#                    G  Gsus2  A 
   We try to make a difference,  do something no-one else had tried 

           Bm     G               D   A11/C#            G 
But if you see me walking and you're wondering   why 
     F#7                       Bm 
Well it's just the business of life 
          Bm/A          G  Gsus2  A                       D  A11/C# 
If you're not getting lucky,         you're just getting by 
Bm  G  A  A7  A6 

D     F#m7   Bm       G             D       A11/C#          F#m7 
   Look at me,  is it written on my face, the luxuries I've known? 
G                          D               A11/C#                G     Gsus2  A 
   Am I a foreign presence,  some place that used to be my home? 

           Bm    G               D A11/C#        G 
So if you see me walking, just a regular       guy 
     F#7                       Bm 
Well it's just the business of life 
          Bm/A          G  Gsus2  A                      D  A11/C# 
If you're not getting lucky,         you're just getting by 
Bm 

             G6            C                     Bm 
And in that weightlessness    that comes with good luck 
F#7                   Em           E                     Esus4 
    The one thing you don't expect   is feeling the drop 

D     F#m7   Bm        G            D      A11/C#           F#m7 
   Look at me, I'm the one who got away, and then came crawling back 
G                          D         A11/C#               G     Gsus2  A 
   I try to do my best, but  I guess I never had the knack 

          Bm     G               D   A11/C#             G 
So if you see me walking and you're wondering   why 
     F#7                       Bm 
Well it's just the business of life 
         Bm/A           G  Gsus2  A                          G  Gsus2  A 
If you're not getting lucky,         if you're not getting lucky 
          D  A11/C#       Bm          G            A  A7 
You're just getting by,                 you're just getting by 
        A6    D  A11/C#  Bm 
Just getting by 
G              A  A7  A6 
Just getting by. 

( D  A11/C#  Bm  G  A  A7  A6 )
