The Odds

Intro: G#

G#
A man of great ambition he pushed 
himself to
A man upon a mission with great 
                C#
riches to achieve

All his friends admired him
And every word they trusted and 
    G#
believed
         F#       C#           
And the odds seem forever in his 
      G#
favour
He made a sound investment in his 
 C#     G#
own abilities
A healthy clientele and some 
     C#     G#
committed employees
C#                                
Well regarded in the town, money 
                       G#
to be made, and cash be found
         F#       C#           
And the odds seem forever in his 
      G#
favour

C#                                 
Sooner or later the man is bound to

      F#         C#               G#
The wind blows forever without waver

        F#      C#          G#
(some unintelligible speech)
        F#              C#
But the odds were not endeavored
               G#
Forever in your favour

    G#
He bought a grander house on a more 
expensive street
Quite a price to pay for a place to 
C#       G#
rest his feet
C#                                
Felt the water rise before he knew
                  G#
 it wasn't all ...

          F#                C#    
Still he thought he had the odds 
       G#
in his favour

We hate to disappoint you, the 
banker didn't knew

The string of repossessions, his 
wife's expensive heels
     C#                          
But sitting down upon the kerb he 
                              G#
felt a certain feeling of relief
        F#                C#      
And he knew the odds were far from
         G#
 in his favour

C#

Sooner or later it's the end of

the road
         F#              C#    
Does the wind don't blow forever 
           G#
without waver

      F#      C#          G#
(some unintelligible speech)
    F#                    C#
But the odds were not endeavored
                G#
Forever in your favour

G#
You're expensive pockets are empty 
and you're feeling insecure
I think you may resent it, and in 
                    C#
fact, I'm pretty sure

Is being wealthy really all that far
 from being poor
        G#
I'm not so sure
        F#            C#          
And the odds are not forever in 
      G#
your favour
