verse 1
F#m A
When you call my name
D E
It's the only truth I'm sure of
F#m A
Like my neck on a chain
D E
Like some sick game I want some more of
F#m A
It's out of my hands
D E
When it comes, it's automatic
F#m A
It's not the love we planned
D E
But baby bring it on bold and tragic
Pre-Chorus
D E G A
We're just two tightrope walkers dancing
D E G
We're breathless as the moment's passing
D
If I'm going down I'm gonna do it right
A
I might go blind in the yellow light
G
I'm gonna take my chances
A
I'm gonna take my chances
D
I've been awake in the dead of night
A
My heartbeat running at the speed of light
G
I'm gonna take my chances
A
I'm gonna take my chances
verse 2
F#m A
If my voice goes cold
D E
If my hands fall and be lifeless
F#m A
Cough the silver and gold
D E F#m A
I will crawl out of the quiet
D E F#m A
I will crawl out of the quiet
D E
I will crawl out of the quiet
D
If I'm going down I'm gonna do it right
A
I might go blind in the yellow light
G
I'm gonna take my chances
A
I'm gonna take my chances
D
I've been awake in the dead of night
A
My heartbeat running at the speed of light
G
I'm gonna take my chances
A
I'm gonna take my chances
Bridge
B
Here I go again, my friend
D
Trying to get back up again
G
All of the lights of the city are blinding
A
Living, not grinding
B
I never thought I could be so damn reckless
D
I only hoped that I could do my best if
G
I got out on my own
A
And I never let go
G
It's like I'm standing in an execution
A
I feel the pressure but no solution
G
I'm gonna take my chances
A
Don't let me burn to ashes
D
If I'm going down I'm gonna do it right
A
I might go blind in the yellow light
G
I'm gonna take my chances
A
I'm gonna take my chances
D
I've been awake in the dead of night
A
My heartbeat running at the speed of light
G
I'm gonna take my chances
A
I'm gonna take my chances
