                            G    Bm
I said "I love you" to a stranger
                   A                F#m
Someone I didn't know, I didn't know
                             G    Bm
You got a thing for sippin' danger
                                         A F#m
And you take it with you everywhere you go
               G                   Bm
I know I fell fast, I know I fell hard
                A                  F#m
I know it felt good until it fell apart
           G                      Bm
I got my things and you got a new man
                   A
Been talkin' to myself, I understand that

Chorus:
                                   G
I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you (You)
Bm                     A
Fuckin' up all of my plans
                  F#m
Stealin' all the time on my hands (You)
G    Bm                          A
Want me to want you back, but I can't
                          F#m
I'm slippin' through your fingers like sand
G                 Bm
So much more room in my bed
A                          F#m
Out of my house, yeah, and out of my head
       G
It's true (Ooh)
       Bm                  A
Now I gotta find somebody new
         F#m                          Em
But I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you
D                             A
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
          F#m                          Em
But I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you
D                            A F#m
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

Somebody's gonna show up here someday
Make me forget I ever knew your name
They'll get the best of me
And I'll be in such a better place
You could've been the one in the frame
You could've been the one to break the chain
You could've been the one, but too late
I'm countin' my stars

Chorus:
Yeah, I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you (You)
Fuckin' up all of my plans
Stealin' all the time on my hands (You)
Want me to want you back, but I can't
I'm slippin' through your fingers like sand
So much more room in my bed
Out of my house, yeah, out of my head
It's true (Ooh)
Now I gotta find somebody new
But I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
But I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

 G                Bm
Wasted dreams on wasted words
     A              F#m
I loved them when I heard 'em
                      Em
But I knew it wasn't true
       D                          A
Lucky me 'cause it could've been you
Yikes

Chorus:
'Cause it could've been you (Ooh)
Fuckin' up all of my plans
Stealin' all the time on my hands (You)
Want me to want you back, but I can't
I'm slippin' through your fingers like sand
So much more room in my bed
Out of my house, yeah, out of my head
It's true (Ooh)
Now I gotta find somebody new
But I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
But I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
I know I'm lucky, yeah, I'm lucky
'cause it could've been you
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
But I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you
(Could've been you, no, no)
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
But I'm lucky 'cause it could've been you
