Roxette - I Was So Lucky


Capo 1st

intro: e b e b
          e                b
It's no secret I've been waiting
        e            b
But I didn't expect this
         e
Nothing will remain
         D
Nothing stays the same
       C
After you came


         e                 b
It's no secret I've been starving
               e            b
I never felt anything for years
      e
I sat up all night
          D
Just to watch your smile
                C
When you're sleeping


          G             D
I was so lucky you came by
      e                   C
And turned a different corner
    G                       D
I could've been somewhere else
                    e   C               b
You could've passed by, could've passed by


              e               b
Come on and sail the sea with me
               e               b
Come on, let's go around the world
        e 
Maybe find a flat
        D
Or a canyon house
          C
For the season

           G             D
I was so lucky you came by
      e                   C
And turned a different corner
     G                     D
It could've been someone else
             C   D
You had in mind
           G              D
I was so lucky you found me
    e                      C
My rags turned gold and silver
   G                        D
I could've been somewhere else
                    e   C                 b (e)
You could've passed by, could've passed by



 F              G                a
What would you make of this, my baby?
     G                F
The sun through the trees
             G              C G a
Is there a better place to be?

solo: A E f# D A  E D E 

           A            E
I was so lucky you came by
       f#                 D
And turned a different corner
    A                       E
It could have been someone else
            D        E
You had in mind, oh my
           A               E
I was so lucky you picked me
    f#                 D
My trash turned to silver
          A                         E
Yeah, I could have been somewhere else
                     e    C             b
You could've passed by, could've passed by
  C          b
Uuooh Babe
