F#m Dmaj7
I knew when I met you something was going to happen
F#m B
My life was all unbalanced nothing had been going right
E F#m
You said what's a lonesome cowboy like you doing in the city
Bm D E
I said I don't know but I guess I'll find out tonight
A
Still taking chances taking candy from strangers
D
Speeding up on curves ignoring the dangers
A
Feel like a fool learning new dances
E E/D E/C# E/B
It keeps me on my toes
A
Still taking chances ain't scaared of winning
D
Swinging for the bleachers in the 9th inning
A E D
Still taking chances before chances take me away
F#m
Before chances take me away
F#m
Maybe I should have thought it over
Dmaj7
When you said will you join me later
F#m B
I said honey I dopn't know if it's right
E F#m
But when you turned and walked down the street I followed
Bm D E
I felt like I was following a truckload of dynamite
A
Still taking chances taking candy from strangers
D
Speeding up on curves ignoring the dangers
A
Feel like a fool learning new dances
E E/D E/C# E/B
It keeps me on my toes
A
Still taking chances ain't scared of winning
D
Swinging for the bleachers in the 9th inning
A E D
Still taking chances before chances take me away
F#m
Before chances take me away
SOLO
E F#m
Been three years now since we got together
Bm
You took a chncae on me
D E
Now I'm out here taking chances for you
A
Still taking chances taking candy from strangers
D
Speeding up on curves ignoring the dangers
A
Feel like a fool learning new dances
E E/D E/C# E/B
It keeps me on my toes
A
Still taking chances ain't scared of winning
D
Swinging for the bleachers in the 9th inning
A E D
Still taking chances before chances take me away
F#m
Before chances take me away
