(believed You Were) Lucky Lyrics - Aimee Mann

Capo 1: F maps as E 

Note: This is the way I've seen Aimee play it in concert (well, in E - the 

recording is in F --- Me, I play it in A with alternate fingers 

e.g., A = X07650 or X07600; D = XX0770 and F#m as 044200 - well 

you get the idea...) 

*** Intro: 

E | E 

*** Verse 1: 

E 

So I guess I'll give it up 

E 

yeah I guess I will 

A 

what's the use in pushing 

F#m E 

when it's all uphill 

*** Verse 2: 

I can't be appointed E 

keeper of the flame E 

without two to carry A 

it won't burn the same - oh F#m | E 

C#m 

It seems obvious to me 

B 

but then again 

D 

could be A B 

you just never felt that way 

*** Chorus 

A E (bass E F# G# B C#) 

I wish you believed in life 

C#m B 

believed in fate 

A E (bass E F# G# B C#) 

believed you were lucky 

C#m B 

and worth the wait 

A E 

'cause life could be lovely 

C#m F# A2 

Life could be so great 

*** Verse 3: 

It gets so embarassing E 

so I acquiesce E 

and I'll change my mind again A 

you change your address - oh F#m | E 

It seems logical to me C#m 

but then again B 

could be I was simply not that smart D | A B 

*** Chorus: 

I thought you believed in life A E 

believed in fate C#m B 

believed you were lucky A E 

and worth the wait C#m B 

'cause life could be lovely A E 

Life could be so great C#m F# A2 

*** Bridge: 

D A 

There must be some other door that they are saving 

E B 

behind which my happiness lies 

D A 

I won't be wasting my words 

C#m 

to tell you hopes that I had - 

B A2 

we can just leave it alone for now 

*** Chorus: 

I wish you: Belief in Life A E 

Belief in Fate C#m B 

Belief you are Lucky A E 

and worth the wait C#m B 

'cause life could be lovely A E 

Life could be fucking great. C#m F# A2 E
