The Luck Of The Draw

(See also chords page.)

I once always finished ahead
I got what I wanted and more
I went on so long without losing
I suppose it's the luck of the draw

I got what I wanted before
I was used to the runaway wins
And that makes it hard to put up with
When at long last the bad patch begins
                                              [as originally written:]
And it had to be the one that mattered         And it turned out to be the one that mattered
Who didn't want to know                        Who didn't want to know
And I wonder if all the others were the same   And I wonder if even all the others were the same
But didn't show                                But didn't show

I once always finished ahead
I got what I wanted and more
So long as I did the choosing
I suppose it's the luck of the draw
