Standard (EADGBE)

My girlfriend left me

With my house and my car

A shadow comes over me

Because that is so hard

 Every time the same story

The same story in every song

And everybody‘s the only one

Who‘s treated wrong

 On the other hand

I should show you respect

Because I don’t know

How to write songs so sad

 I wouldn’t be so fine

If I hadn’t all time

An inner voice that tells me to be happy

So I’m a lucky man hey lucky lucky

 I wouldn’t be so amused

If I didn’t know that you’re confused

And absolutely uninterested

In this song oh I’m a lucky bastard

 Okay I promise now

To do all I can

To write some other songs

Those are no more rants

 In defence I just can say

The lyrics comes over me

So quick that I don’t have time

To think of another rhyme

 Well I could forget the lyrics

And write some others

But isn’t it prodigality

Even if the songs are of bad quality

 I wouldn’t be so fine

If I hadn’t all time

An inner voice that tells me to be happy

So I’m a lucky man hey lucky lucky

 I wouldn’t be so amused

If I didn’t know that you’re confused

And absolutely uninterested

In this song oh I’m a lucky bastard
