THE LUCKIEST
(Ben Folds)

by Ben Folds, from the album 'Rockin' the Suburbs'

Transcription by Phil Gardner


D       A        D                G
I don't get many things right the first time,
D            Bm          C    D - C 
In fact I am told that a lot.
      A            A7       
Now I know all the wrong turns,
    D             G                D    Bm - F#m - A
And stumbles and falls brought me here.

Bm            G            Bm
And where was I before the day,
            E               A
That I first saw your lovely face,
     F#m          G    A - G
Now I see it every day,
   D  A    A7
And I know,
     D  A
That I  am,
Bm  F#m
I  am,
G  Asus  A             
I  am,
    D       A  A7
The luckiest.


What if I'd been born fifty years before you, 
In a house on the street where you live.    
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike,
Would I know?
And in a white sea of eyes,
I see one pair that I recognise,
And I know.

That I am,
I am,
I am the luckiest.

Em
I love you more than I have,
Bm                  D      G    D - A - A7
Ever found a way to say to you.

     
Next door there's an old man,   
Who lived to his nineties and one day,
Passed away in his sleep.    
And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days,
And passed away.     
I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you,
That I know we belong,
And I know.

That I am,
I am,
         Bm      F#m - G - Asus - A - D
I am the luckiest.
