I Take My Chances

Capo 5

Intro G  D  C  C    G  D  C  C


G        D           Em       C
I took a walk in the rain one day
       G          D      C
On the wrong side of the tracks
    G           D           Em   
I stood on the rails till I saw 
     C
that train
         G           D            C
Just to see how my heart would react
    Em          Bm         
Now some people say that you 
    C             C
shouldn't tempt fate
        Em          D        C
And for them I can not disagree

      G              D         
But I never learned nothing from 
    Em        C
playing it safe
       G          G/B       C
I say fate should not tempt me

     C       G    D   C    C   
I take my chances;      I don't
       G          D      C   C
 mind working without a net
     C       G    D   C    C   
I take my chances;      I take 
     G           D         C   C
my chances every chance I get

I sat alone in the dark one night, 
tuning in by remote
I found a preacher who spoke of the 
light but there was brimstone in his
 throat
He'd show me the way according to 
him in return for my personal check
I flipped the channel back to CNN, 
and I lit another cigarette

I take my chances; yes, forgiveness 
doesn't come with a debt
I take my chances; I take my chances
 every chance I get

G  D  C  C    G  D  C  C    

G  D  C  C    G  D  C  C

Solo

I've crossed lines of words and 
wire, and both have cut me deep
I've been frozen out and I've been 
on fire, and the tears are mine to 
weep
But I can cry until I laugh, or 
laugh until I cry
So cut the deck right in half, I'll 
play from either side

I take my chances; I pay my dollar 
and I place my bet
I take my chances; I take my chances
 every chance I get
I take my chances; yeah, I don't 
cling to remorse or regret
I take my chances; I take my chances
 every chance I get
I take my chances...

Repeat G D C C end on G
