Verse
[D]
new to town with a made up name
[Bm]
in the angel's city chasing fortune and fame
[G] [D] [A]
and the camera flashes make it look like a dream
[D]
you had it figured out since you were in school
[Bm]
everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool
[G] [D] [A]
so overnight, you look like a 60s queen
[G] [Bm]
another name goes up in lights
[G] [A]
like diamonds in the sky...
Chorus
[D]
and they'll tell you now
[A]
you're the lucky one
[G]
yeah, they'll tell you now
[A]
you're the lucky one
[D]
but can you tell me now
[A]
you're the lucky one
[G] [D]
oh, oh, oooh...
Verse
[D]
now it's big black cars and riviera views
[Bm]
and your lover in the foyer doesn't even know you
[G] [D] [A]
and your secrets end up splashed on the news front page
[D]
and they tell you that you're lucky but you're so confused
[Bm]
cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used
[G] [D] [A]
and all the young things line up to take your place
[G] [Bm]
another name goes up in lights
[G] [A]
you wonder if you'll make it out alive
Chorus
[D]
and they'll tell you now
[A]
you're the lucky one

yeah, they'll tell you now

you're the lucky one

Verse
[D]
it was a few years later I showed up here
[Bm]
and they still tell the legend of how you disappeared
[G] [D] [A]
how you took the money and your dignity and got the hell out

they say you bought a bunch of land somewhere

chose the Rose Garden over Madison Square

and it took some time, but I understand it now...

cause now my name is up in lights
[G] [A]
but I think you got it right

oh, oh, oh...
