Dsus2                     Em7

You can't find the forms(phone) so you can call it off

But it might be for the best

Dsus2                Em7     

You can't walk away anywhere

D/F#

Because you've nowhere else to go

Dsus2                 Em7

Is he worth all this? Is it a simple yes?

This isn't everything you are

Breathe deeply in the silence, no sudden moves

D                         C                           

This isn't everything you are

There’s joy not far from here, I, I know there is

Dsus2                  Em7

When you took the call, how could you know?

And you wish you'd went home days ago

To say goodbye or just hello

Don't keel over

Breathe deeply in the silence, no sudden moves

Alison Krauss and Union Station - "Lucky One" - chords and lyrics

Here's something with a bit of a Country vibe for you to play along to. I don't think "luck" has anything to do with much, but people believe it and write songs about it.  Being "lucky" - well now, that's a different story altogether... Enjoy

Paolo Nutini - These Streets - Acoustic - chords and lyrics

This is a nice little number I enjoy playing from time to time - tho my Scottish accent when singing is a bit of a joke...
Nice easy chords to jam to

These Streets – Paolo Nutini

D                   F#m   G          A

Cross the border, into the big bad world

D                                                         F#m

Where it takes you about an hour just to cross the road

           G                                 A

Just to stumble across another poor old soul

D                                             F#m

From the dreary old lanes to the High Street madness

G                                A

I fight with my brain to believe my eyes

      D                                       F#m

And it's harder than you think to believe this sadness

   G                                                 A

It creeps up my spine and haunts me through the night

Bm7

Life is good and the girls are gorgeous

G

Suddenly the air smells much greener now

Bm7

And I'm wondering around with a half pack of cigarettes

A

Searching for the change I've lost somehow

D                          F#m   

These Streets have too many names for me

G                                                         A

I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy

D                          F#m           G          A

I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know

D                F#m     G                 A

Where'd the days go when all we did was play

D                                                          F#m

And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all

G                                       A

Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall

D                                             F#m

From walking by a high rise to a landmark square

            G                               A

You see millions of people with millions of cares

D                                                  F#m

And I struggle to the train to make my way home

G                                          A

I look at these people as they sit there alone

Bm7

Life is good and the sun is shining

G

Everybody floats to their ideal place

Bm7

And the children all smile as the boats shuffle by them

A

Trying to pretend that they've got some space

D                          F#m   

These Streets have too many names for me

G                                                         A

I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy

D                          F#m           G          A

I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know

D                          F#m   

These Streets have too many names for me

G                                                         A

I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy

D                          F#m           G          A

I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know

Bm7

Life is good and the girls are gorgeous

G

Suddenly the air smells much greener now

Bm7

And I'm wondering around with a half pack of cigarettes

A

Searching for the change I've lost somehow

D                          F#m   

These Streets have too many names for me

G                                                         A

I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy

D                          F#m           G          A

I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know

D                          F#m   

These Streets have too many names for me

G                                                         A

I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy

D                          F#m           G          A

I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know

                                 D

You keep telling me so
