No Chance
>From the album "Magic and Loss" -Lou Reed

 Intro is: A A A A D D played rapidly.

 A
 It must be nice to be steady, it must be nice to be firm
 A D A
 It must be nice never to move off of the mark
 A
 it must be nice to be dependable and never let anyone down
 A D A
 It must be great to be all the things you're not
 A D A
 It must be great to be all the things I am not
 A
 I see you in the hospital your humor is intact
 A D A
 I'm embarrasses by the strengh I seem to lack
 A
 If I was in your shoes
 A
 so strange that I am not
 D A
 I'd fold up in a minute and a half
 D A
 I'd fold up in a minute and a half
 A D E A
 And I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

 It must be nice to be normal it must be nice to be cold
 It must be nice not to have to go oh up or down
 But me I'm all emotional no matter how I try
 You're gone and I'm still here alive
 You're gone and I am still alive
 and I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
 No - I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

 There are things we say we wish we knew and in fact we never do
 But I wish I'd known that you were going to die
 Then I wouldn't feel so stupid, such a fool that I didn't call
 And I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
 I didn't get a chance to say goodbye

 No there's no logic to this - who's picked to stay or go
 If you think too hard it only makes you mad
 But your optimism made me think you really had it beat
 So I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
 I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
