dennis.westlind@svet.lu.se

(Intro) A
A            D      A         G         A
Well it was nearly summer, sat on your roof
D        A              G
Yeah we smoked cigarettes and we stared at the moon
D      A            G           D
And I showed you stars you never could see
D                  C
Babe, it couldnÕt have been that easy to forget about me

D        A              G         A
Baby time meant nothinÕ anything seemed real
D        A             G
Yeah you could kiss like fire and you made me feel
D   A           G         D
Like every word you said was meant to be
D          A       C
Babe, it couldnÕt have been that easy to forget about me

(Chorus)
D      A      G
Baby even the losers
D          A        G
Get lucky sometimes
D           A      G
Even the losers
G
Keep a little bit of pride
A
They get lucky sometimes

(Solo, repeat chords as in verses 1&2)

(Bridge)
A         Asus4
Two cars parked on the overpass
A              Asus4
Rocks hit the water like broken glass
A           Asus4
Should have known right then it was too good to last
A     Asus4               G                 G
ItÕs such a drag when you live in the past

(Repeat Chorus to fade)

	I think "losers" refers to losers in love ... even the heartbroken ones keep a little bit of pride, they get lucky sometimes. Not quite losers as in "LOSER". That's how I see it.

	great song. sorta depressing though - he's saying that he was lucky as hell to ever have a girl that good but it's over, she moved on, and all he has is memories of when he wasn't such a loser.

	i just got a DVD of tom petty live at the Fillmore...he messes up the lyrics at the beginning of the song... It was nearly summer, we stared at the moon Sat on your roof, and......... We stared at the moon It was pretty funny. i've never seen anyone get such an ovation for singing the wrong lyrics

	great song saying that even an average guy can hit it off with a chick

	I like this line "Two cars park on the overpass, rocks hit the water like broken glass. " I dated a guy once that I thought was way too good for me. We had known each other forever and I just kept thinking "This is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I'm so lucky but I know this won't last." We dated for around six months, I was a freshman in high school. I still miss him (two years later) even though I broke up with him. I hope he hasn't forgotten. It couldn't be that easy to forget about me...

	This song in my opinion is about keeping faith in yourself, even when things go wrong (example: in this song it sounds like he broke up with a really great girl that he thought was too good for him).

	I think in this song he may not actually be a "loser" but he is depressed right now because his girl left him. Everyone goes through that time in their life when they break up and they think that their world is over. For some reason all you can focus on is the great times that were had not the bad ones. He is just in the dumps right now and feels his life is in shambles.

	I like this song.

	Personally, I think it's just sayin he was lucky to get with a girl that good, and then she left.

	I'm more in line with Jessy. It's about having that one date with the really hot chick he never thought he'd have a chance with, getting lucky (as it were), and then it was over. And how later in life, especially in down times, that one night keeps coming back to him.
