[Intro]
C C/G F G
[Verse 1]
C
They tell you not to roll the dice
Am
When you’re playin with your own life
F
I saw you and I didn’t think twice
F G
Probably should have told you goodbye
C
But you kissed me in the middle of the street
Am
And you didn’t care that people were watching
F
I knew that nothing ever comes free
F G
But under that sky, it didn’t stop me
[Chorus 1]
C Am
The night we met I thought I won the lottery
F
I thought that I held everything that I wanted to hold
G
Spending the night with you alone
C Am
The night we met my life was how it ought to be
F
I should have known that even winning the lottery
G
Would leave you broke.
C Am F G
Broke… broke broke
[Verse 2]
C
They say you shouldn’t go all in
Am
When you’re betting odds you can’t win,
F
But I’d do it all over again
G
Even though I know how it ends
[Chorus 2]
C Am
The night we met I thought I won the lottery
F
I thought that I held everything that I wanted to hold
G
Spending the night with you alone
C Am
The night we met my life was how it ought to be
F
I should have known that even winning the lottery
G
Would leave you broke.
[Bridge 1]
Am
I should have held on tight but I cashed it in
F
And I still reach out for your hands on my skin
C
Cause now I know what it should have been
G
You and me like kings and queens
On your rolled up couch rolling in our dreams
[Chorus 3]
C Am
The night we met I thought I won the lottery
F
I thought that I held everything that I wanted to hold
G
Spending the night with you alone
C Am
The night we met I thought I won the lottery
F
I thought that I held everything that I wanted to hold
G
Spending the night with you alone
C Am
The night we met my life was how it ought to be
F
I should have known that even winning the lottery
G
Would leave you broke.
[Outro] (slowly)
C Am
Did we win that lottery or was it just robbery
F G
Guess I know what love is now
C Am
But I don’t know why it’s got to be hard
F
You’re happy without me and I’m broke so I break down
G C
But I know what love is now
