D D7 G
Chances are I took the wrong turn every time I had a turn to take
A D
And I guess I broke my own heart every chance I had a heart to break
D D7 G walk down Em
And it seems I spent my whole life wishin' on the same unlucky star
A D
And as I watch you cross the barroom, I wonder, what my chances are
D D7 G
Well, I know you've been around and you've seen what you needed to see
A D
And at night when you're dreamin,' you're probably not dreamin' bout me
D D7 G walk down Em
Oh, it's safe to say I've stumbled but I've managed to make it through this far
A D
As I take one step and then another, I wonder, what my chances are
Em G D
I have watched the world go by hand in hand, and wondered why I'm still so alone
Bm E A
Could I lay down my foolish pride, maybe finally find my heart a home?
D D7 G
The band has started playing a simple song I used to know
A D
I take your hand and walk you out, dance to the rhythm way down low
D D7 G walk down Em
Every heart has got a story mine just has a few scars
A D
But they could heal if you would hold me and tell me what my chances are
A G G A D
Well, they could heal if you would hold me and tell me what my chances are
