[Intro]
One, two

[Verse 1]
You better watch what you say
You better watch what you do to me
Don't get carried away
Girl, if you can do better than me

[Pre-Chorus]
Go
Yeah, go
But remember

[Chorus]
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe
When I found you

[Verse 2]
You put a hand on my cheek
And then you turned your eyes away
If you don't feel complete
If I don't take you all of the way

[Pre-Chorus]
Then go
Yeah, go
But remember

[Chorus]
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe
When I found you

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, go
Just go
But remember

[Chorus]
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe
When I found you

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – an L.A.-based gang of sharp-dressed garage-rock refugees from Gainsville, Florida – released their debut LP in November 1976, featuring two tracks which are now part of their long list of hits, “Breakdown” and “American Girl.”

Since that first LP in ‘76, the band’s style has epitomized and largely defined the American “heartland rock” movement – a vintage-guitar twang, hard lyric truth, and searing vocal attitude.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have been nominated for 17 Grammy awards and sold more than 80 million records worldwide, making them one of the world’s best-selling bands of all-time.
