Tuned down a whole step (DGCFAD). All chords relative to standard tuning.

[Intro]

C Am G (x2)

[Verse 1]

C
It took so long to get me back on my feet
C
It takes so long to find the words and the beat
C
And Charlie's waiting on the end of the phone
       Am           G
To hear you call on him to try to recapture
C

But them old records won't be saving your soul
C
And them feelings died for reasons you know
C
That you've forgotten somewhere riding a train
   Am            G
To a place you bought out in BaCoCa

[Pre-chorus]

    Am                     Dm  G
And it feels like all you'd have to do is step outside
   Am                 Dm
Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment
   C      G
That might never arrive

[Chorus]

      C      Am
But you're never gonna find it
          F
Like when you were young
     C           G
And everybody used to call you lucky

[Interlude]

C

[Verse 2]

C
Nothing feels right in the wintery cold
C
Steam, heat, clang, and the dark at your door
C
All the other rooms are a party tonight
     Am       G
And you never got an invitation
C
And you feel it in your bones Steady aching some more
C
Twenty five years gone just an hour ago
C
Momma never told me there'd be days like these
       Am        G
Until it was much too late to recover

[Pre-chorus]

    Am                    Dm  G
And it feels like all you'd have to do is step outside
   Am                 Dm
Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment
   C      G
That might never arrive

[Chorus]

      C      Am
But you're never gonna find it
      F      C G
When your knees got so weak
     C           Am
But it's right here in case you need it
          F
Like when you were young
     C           G
And everybody used to call you lucky
        F
When you were young
     C           G
And everybody used to call you lucky

[Bridge]

    An                 Dm  G
But it feels like you just might explode inside
       Am
You've been pacing around and waiting
     Dm     C      G     F
For some moment that might never arrive at all
     Am          G     F
What you don't have, you don't need it anymore
     Am          G     F  G
What you don't have, you don't need it anymore

[Chorus]

      C      Am
But you're never gonna find it
      F      C G
When your knees got so weak
     C           Am
And it's right here in case you need it
          F
Like when you were young
     C           G
And everybody used to call you lucky
        F
When you were young
     C           G
And everybody used to call you lucky

[Outro]

      C
If you're anywhere in Manhattan, in the next eight days or so
