[Chorus]
D
Woke a dog from a running dream And that's bad luck (Bad luck)
Em
Ate a black fly in the cream And that's bad luck (Bad, bad luck)
D
Chipped my tooth on an engagement ring And that's bad luck (Bad luck)
Em
Could have stopped any one of these things But that would have been
D
bad luck
[Verse 1]
D
Are you tired of things going right?
F#m
Things going wrong?
A
Tired of trying to make everyone happy?
D
Too tired to sing your own songs
[Verse 2]
D
Do you wish you could stop everything
F#m
And take back your love?
A
Say you're sorry that you gave it up so easy
D
And cry like you're trying to be born?
[Chorus]
D
Woke a dog from a running dream And that's bad luck (Bad luck)
Em
Ate a black fly in the cream And that's bad luck (Bad, bad luck)
D
Chipped my tooth on an engagement ring And that's bad luck (Bad luck)
Em
Could have stopped any one of these things But that would have been
D
bad luck
[Bridge]
D
So I died and went to work
So I died and went to work
Bm
It's not as bad as I thought it would be
D
But it's still pretty bad luck
Bm
It's not as bad as I thought it would be
D
But it's still pretty bad luck
[Chorus]
D
Woke a dog from a running dream And that's bad luck (Bad luck)
Em
Ate a black fly in the cream And that's bad luck (Bad, bad luck)
D
Chipped my tooth on an engagement ring And that's bad luck (Bad luck)
Em
Could have stopped any one of these things But that would have been
D
bad luck
[Verse 3]
D A
And love, the most contrary asset of them all
A
Dragging in on nature's coattails
A
Acting like it wrote the moon
A
Trying to pass riddles as poetry
A D
Embargo is love's waiting room
[Verse 4]
D
And meantime
A
Right here in human time
F#m
My heart could break for a one-legged seagull
Bm Bm/A Gmaj7 D
And still afford nothing to you (That's bad luck)
[Verse 5]
D
Are you tired of things going right?
F#m
Things going wrong?
A
Tired of trying to make everyone happy?
D
Too tired to sing your own songs
[Chorus]
D
Woke a dog from a running dream And that's bad luck (Bad luck)
Em
Ate a black fly in the cream And that's bad luck (Bad, bad luck)
D
Chipped my tooth on an engagement ring And that's bad luck (Bad luck)
Em
Could have stopped any one of these things But that would have been
D
bad luck
[Outro]
D
So I died and went to work
D
So I died and went to work
D
So I died and went to work
