How Fortunate

[Intro] [strummed acoustic guitar, palm-muted electric guitar, steady kick drum] (Ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh) [Verse 1] [bass enters, driving eighth-note rhythm] Coffee hot, dogs at the door My girl in the kitchen barefoot on the floor Kids are grown, they're wild but wise You blink and the years just vaporize We built this home on rock and sweat And we ain't even hit our best days yet [Verse 2] [snare hits on 2 and 4] Bands on fire, broke as hell But we sound like thunder, can't you tell? Cracked old amp and a twisted lead Still chasing joy, not chasing greed Yeah, they tax our blood, steal our time But we're still dancing, towing that line [Pre-Chorus] [piano stabs enter] Drinks pouring with a case of cheer We drink to the good, the now, the here A little too loud, a little too late But we've earned every laugh we celebrate A mess of beauty, flaws and all We're kings and queens when we stand this tall [Chorus] [full band, heavy crash cymbals] Got gold in my heart, fire in my chest Grateful as hell and I won't second guess How fortunate, damn we're lucky How fortunate, life's been good to me How fortunate, can't fake this fire How fortunate, we're lit, we're wired How fortunate, raise your glass high How fortunate, this is real life How fortunate, say it loud, say it proud How fortunate, we got it now [Post-Chorus] [rhythmic handclaps, acoustic guitar strumming] Hey! Hey! (Ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh) We got it now [Bridge] [drums drop out, soft acoustic guitar and piano] Hold it close, this light, this grace It won't always wear the same sweet face When the storms come, and they will, you know Remember this joy, let it soften the blow [Chorus] [full band re-enters, high energy] How fortunate, feel it in your bones How fortunate, this love, this home How fortunate, we'll laugh through the night How fortunate, we got it so right Don't forget, don't forget How fortunate, this is as good as it gets How fortunate, say it loud, say it proud How fortunate, we got it now [Outro] [sustained electric guitar chord, crowd cheering sounds] (Ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh) We got it now
