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