 x2
We  used to be something  surreal
Others  looked to us for what we built
We  were envied until  the point
The  point in which we fell
 We fell by the wayside,  and slowly  watched ourselves  die
 A lonely death in which no  one cared and no  one came
 When the walls  cave in, we only have ourselves to blame
 And even if  it's dark at least  we'll be together
 Slowly sinking  in the earth  to lay forever
 You better grab  a hold and hold  on for your life
 Because you don't  get lucky twice
 (You don't have to play the chords in the parentheses)
 Now even  if it's perfect,  I can't get carried away
 And motivate  my tongue  in twisted ways
 It felt like a good  night, for dancing  and the moonlight
 In empty streets, well, everybody's got  a reason  why
 If we could only  just get it right
 Maybe it  will all work  out like in the movies
 But I know Romeo  must die  before the ending
 With a final  poison kiss  delivered gently
 Because you don't  get lucky twice, and that's the truth
Sing  to me sweet, just like my memory
 If New York City  still moves me
 Then I found  something real
I'll  be okay, I could go on for days
 But I just don't  have the courage that it takes  to be real
 And even if  it's dark at least  we'll be together
 Slowly sinking  in the earth  to lay forever
 You better grab  a hold and hold  on for your life
 Because you don't  get lucky twice
 No, you don't  get lucky twice

But play whatever sounds best to you.

[Em]  [G]  [C] x2

[Em]We used to be so[G]mething surreal
[C]Others looked to us for what we built
[Em]We were envied u[G]ntil the point
[C]The point in which we fell
We fell by the w[Em]ayside, and s[G]lowly watched our[C]selves die
A lonely death in which [Em]no one cared and [G]no one came
When the w[D]alls cave in, we only have ourselves to b[C]lame

And even [Em]if it's dark at [D/F#]least we'll be tog[C]ether
Slowly s[Em]inking in the [D/F#]earth to lay for[C]ever
You better g[Em]rab a hold and [D/F#]hold on for your l[C]ife
Because you d[D]on't get lucky twice

(You don't have to play the chords in the parentheses)

[Em]      Now e[G]ven[D/F#] if it's pe[C]rfect, I can't get carried away
[Em]      And mot[G]ivat[D/F#]e my to[C]ngue in twisted ways
It felt like a g[Em]ood night, for d[G]ancing and the mo[C]onlight
In empty streets, well, e[Em]verybody's [G]got a r[D/F#]eason w[D]hy
If we could [Dsus4]only just get it ri[C]ght

Maybe [Em]it will all work[D/F#] out like in the mo[C]vies
But I know R[Em]omeo must [D/F#]die before the e[C]nding
With a f[Em]inal poison [D/F#]kiss delivered g[C]ently
Because you d[D]on't get lucky twice, and that's the tr[G]uth [G]     [Em]          [C]

[G]Sing to me sweet, just like my memory [G]    [D/F#]
If New York [Em]City still moves me
Then I f[C]ound something real
[G]I'll be okay, I could go on for days [G]    [D/F#]
But I just d[Em]on't have the courage that it t[D]akes to be real [C]

And even [Em]if it's dark at [D/F#]least we'll be tog[C]ether
Slowly s[Em]inking in the [D/F#]earth to lay for[C]ever
You better g[Em]rab a hold and [D/F#]hold on for your l[C]ife
Because you d[D]on't get lucky twice
No, you d[D]on't get lucky twice

[G]   [G]   [Em]   [C]
