Capo 2
Intro: C G C
N.C.
Chances are I took the wrong turn
F
Every time I had a turn to take
G
And I guess I broke my own heart
C
Every chance I had a heart to break
And it seems I spent my whole life
C7 F Dm
Wishing on the same unlucky star
G7
As I watch you 'cross the barroom
G C G
I wonder what my chances are
C
Well, I know you've been around
F
And you've seen what you needed to see
G
And at night when you're dreaming
C
You're probably not dreaming 'bout me
Oh, it's safe to say I've stumbled
C7 F Dm
But I've managed to make it through this far
G7
As I take one step and then another
G C
I wonder what my chances are
Bridge:
Dm
I have watched the world go by
F C
Hand in hand and wondered why I'm still so alone
Am D
Could I lay down my foolish pride
G
And maybe finally find my heart a home
C
The band has started playing
F
A simple song I used to know
G
I take your hand and walk you out
C
Dance to the rhythm way down low
Every heart has a story
C7 F Dm
But mine just has few more scars
G7
But they could heal if you will hold me
G C
And tell me what my chances are
Am G7
But they would heal if you will hold me
G F C
And tell me what my chances are
