[Verse]
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
so overnight, you look like a 60s queen 
A       G             Bm
another name goes up in lights 
 G                 A     D
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

G       D
oh, oh, oh... 

[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

G
yeah, they'll tell you now 
A
you're the lucky one 
  D
but can you tell me now 
 A

G       D

how you took the money and your dignity and got the hell out 
D
they say you bought a bunch of land somewhere 
 Bm
