Biography:
Josh Joplin Group was a Georgia-based pop music band led by singer-songwriter Josh Joplin. Joplin, a self-proclaimed "dork" who nonetheless dropped out of school in tenth grade to become a folk singer like his hero Phil Ochs, brought the group its trademark combination of introspective lyrics, folk-rock melodies, and lead vocals that, to many, sound identical to those of R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe (to the point that one Joplin song, "Happy at Last," begins, "I sound like Michael Stipe and I dream like Carl Jung").

[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
G Am
Cross the line and erase any doubt
F G Am
You walk the carpet until you wear it out
G Am
Listening to songs tearing at your heart
F G
With every box you pack, you feel like you could start
D F C G D
Crying at the feet of an angel that offers no mercy
F C G
Standing like a statue through the ages and you're on your knees
[Chorus]
Am F G
Sometimes you feel lucky
Am F G
Sometimes you feel lucky
Am F G
Sometimes you feel lucky
Am F G Am
You still believe
[Verse 2]
F G Am
Looking in the mirror, staring past yourself
F G C C/B Am
Everyone is helpful, but no one's any help
F G Am
And just like a ghost that floats above the floors
F G
You glide down the hallway through the automatic doors
D F C G D
These streets pretend to be an old friend, familiar and knowing
F C G
But you have nothing else in common, save for where you're going
[Chorus]
Am F G
Sometimes you feel lucky
Am F G
Sometimes you feel lucky
Am F G
Sometimes you feel lucky
Am F G
You still believe
[Instrumental]
F G F G F G F G D
[Bridge]
F C G D
Say goodbye to the last guest leaving and the room is empty
F C G Am
Sometimes you just want to scream 'til you break down gently
[Verse 3]
F G Am
And now it's years from then, so little's ever said
F G Am
To remind us of the age, to bring back the dead
F G Am
Memory is a funny thing, what it chooses to forget
F G
The evidence of lives we've lived and ones we haven't yet
[Chorus]
Am F G
Sometimes you feel lucky
Am F G
Sometimes you feel lucky
Am F G
Sometimes you feel lucky
Am F G
You still believe
