Intro - G G D G 

G 
Here’s my grandpa’s old Gibson 
D 
And a girl of no importance 
C                                 G 
A shot of whiskey sitting on the bar 
G                              D 
Yeah I used to give a damn, I used to try real hard 
C                                  G 
But I’ll give in tonight, chances are 

 
D 
One foot on the narrow waye- 
    C                G 
And one foot on the ledge 
D 
Sifting through the devil’s lies 
     C                 G 
From what the good book says 
Em            D 
If I’m goin’ any where 
      C 
I’ll probably go too far 
Em        D 
Probably away from you 
C                         G   
Chances are, chances are 


G 
There’s a lonely corner waiting 
D 
To seats left for playing 
C                                      G 
I’ll tell her everything she wants to hear 
G 
I’m not worse love this making 
D 
I’m better at the breakin’ 
C                                 G 
A guy like me knows how to disappear 


D                             C                     G 
One foot on the narrow waye- , and one foot on the ledge 
D                                     C                      G 
Sifting through the devil’s lies, from what the good book says 
Em            D 
If I’m goin’ any where 
C  
I’ll probably go too far 
Em         D 
Probably away from you 
C                       G  G  
Chances are, chances are  

G 
Hold me like I mean it 
D 
Say ’til you believe it 
C                                         G 
And we’ll see if we can fill an empty heart 
Em                                       G 
But I won’t tell you what the chances are 


D                               C                   G 
One foot on the narrow waye- , and one foot on the ledge 
D                                     C                       G 
Sifting through the devil’s lies, from what the good book says 
Em               D 
If I’m goin’ any where 
C 
I’ll probably go too far 
Em          D 
Probably away from you 
C 
Chances are, chances are
