What Are The Chances

intro/chorus of their 1993 hit 
Ordinary World as well!

For the most part, the whole song 
appears to follow the chords below.

Verse Chords: F#m-A-C#m-F#m-B
Pre-Chorus Chords: D-E
Chorus Chords: A-E-B-F#m-D

I like to throw in a Bm in place of 
the B during John Frusciante’s solo 
during the middle 8 as well, 
although
I’m not sure if that’s because they 
actually use it or if it just sounds
 a bit better. The band also skips
over the F#m chord in the final line
 of the first chorus before heading 
straight to D.


[Verse 1]
F#m       A           C#m       
Any other day and you might've 
    F#m           B
gone walking by without a second 
look
F#m       A        C#m   
Any other way, but I'm still 
       F#m              B
mystified. I'm just trying to change
 my luck
F#m             A         C#m   
Staring out the world and 
      F#m          B              
waiting for the one. But the world
           D
 won't look away
                      E
The world does not explain


[Chorus 1]
A E                B    F#m   D
So what are the chances?
Continúa después del anuncio
            A   E                  
We'll never know if we take it for 
B       F#m   D
granted
              A    E           
A diamond explodes. What are the 
    B   D
chances?

F#m


[Verse 2]
F#m               A          C#m
Playing with your life, or is it
    F#m        B
 destiny which sets you on a path?
F#m          A           C#m    
Is it out of choice that you're 
     F#m            B      
here next to me, or just the 
            D
aftermath
   E
Of moments as they pass?


[Chorus 2]
A E                B    F#m   D
So what are the chances?
            A   E                  
We'll never know if we take it for 
B      F#m   D
granted
             A     E           
A diamond explodes. What are the 
    B
chances?
F#m    D            A  E       
We are lost in the flow and 
          B       F#m   D
looking for answers, oh...


[Middle 8]
A   E   B   F#m   D

A   E   B   F#m   D

A        E           B         
Oh oh oh oh... oh oh oh… oh oh 
F#m   D
oh
A        E           B         
Oh oh oh oh... oh oh oh… oh oh 
F#m   D
oh


[Chorus 3]
A E                B    F#m   D
So what are the chances?
            A   E                  
We'll never know if we take it for 
B      F#m   D
granted
             A     E           
A diamond explodes. What are the 
    B
chances?
F#m    D            A  E       
We are lost in the flow and 
          B       F#m   D
looking for answers, oh...

A   E   B   F#m   D

A   E   B   F#m   D
