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 
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   A   G 
oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh 
 D  A    G 
oh, ooh, oh, oh 

[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 
D
they say you bought a bunch of land somewhere 
        Bm
chose the Rose Garden over Madison Square 
       G                                   D           A
and it took some time, but I understand it now... 
             G             Bm
cause now my name is up in lights 
      G                A
but I think you got it right 

[Chorus]
D
let me tell you now 
          A
you're the lucky one 
G
let me tell you now 
           A
you're the lucky one 
D
let me tell you now 
          A
you're the lucky one 
G
oh, oh, oh... 

D
yeah, 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
let me tell you now 
           A
you're the lucky one 
G           D   A   G
oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, oh....
