Lottery

 
        G           C       G 
I've never bought a lottery ticket 
         Em           D               C 
But sometimes late at night, when I'm bored 
           G         C           G 
Think about the high life I'd be livin' 
        Em           D       C 
All the silly things I could afford 
  G        D        G 
A house in L.A. and one by the beach 
G            D          G           Em 
Cars that go fast and a parrot that speaks 
C           Em          D                    A   C 
I'd snap my fingers and have anything that I want 
 

 
        Em                       C             G 
I could date someone young when I start to feel old 
    Em                         C        G 
I'd throw all these parties for people I don't know 
       Em                      C         G 
They'd come for the money, but never for me 
        A             D             G 
Oh, I'm lucky I don't play the lottery 
 

 
 G  D 
(Ah-ah) 
 C  D 
(Ah-a) 
 

 
      G            C             G 
I bet I'd probably start feelin' empty 
       Em         D           G 
So I'd grab a pen and writ a check 
       G          C            G 
To the latest and gratest foundation 
         Em           D      C 
For some recent world crisis event 
   G          D           G 
My lovers and friends and family too (Family too) 
       G        D         G          Em 
They'd all disappear, but out of the blue (Out of the blue) 
      C          Em        D                         A   C 
Start askin' for money, intending to sue for all I've got 
 

 
    Em                     C             G 
But all of the glamor would start to get old 
   Em                       C            G 
My kids would fight over the will, so I'm told 
               Em                     C         G 
And they would come for the money, but never for me 
        A             D 
Oh, I'm lucky I don't play the lottery 
 

 
Em                    C      G 
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da 
Em                    C      G 
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da 
Em                    C      G 
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da 
        A             D 
Oh, I'm lucky I don't play the lottery 
Em                    C      G 
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da (Ah) 
Em                    C      G 
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da (Ah, oh, oh-oh) 
Em                    C      G 
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da (Ah) 
        A             D             G 
Oh, I'm lucky I don't play the lottery 
 

Outro: 

        Em                    C            G 
So I'll take my apartment, the same pair of jeans 
        Em                  C                 G 
I don't need tons of people, crowds aren't for me 
Em                    C          G 
Sometimes, the winners lose everything 
        A             D             G 
And I'm lucky I don't play the lottery
