[C] [G] [F]
[C] [G] [F]
[C] I [G] took a walk [Am] in the rain [F] one day on [C] the wrong [G] side of the [F] tracks
I [C] stood on [G] the rail [Am] till I saw [F] that train just [C] to see how [G] my heart would [F] react
[Am] Now [C] some people say that [F] you shouldn't tempt fate and [Am] for them [G] I cannot [F] disagree
But [C] I never [G] learned nothing [Am] from playing it safe
[C] I say fate should not [F] tempt me
I [C] take my chances
[G] [F] I don't [C] mind working [G] without [F] a net
I take [C] my [G] chances
[F] I [C] take my chances [G] every chance [F] I get
[C] I [G] sat alone [Am] in the dark [F] one [C] night [G] tuning in [F] by remote
[C] I [G] found a preacher [Am] who spoke [F] of the light but [C] there was [G] brimstone in [F] his throat
[Am] He showed me [C] the way [F] according to him [Am] in return [G] for my [F] personal check
[C] [G] I flipped my channel [Am] back to [F] CNN [C] and I lit another cigarette
I take my [G] chances
[F] Yes, [C] forgive [G] this doesn't come [F] with a debt
I take [C] my [G] chances
[F] I take [C] my chances [G] every [F] chance I get
[C] [G] [F]
[C] [G] [F]
[C] [G] [F]
[C] [G] [F]
[C] I've crossed [Am] lines of words [C] and wire and [G] both have [F] cut me deep
[C] I've been [G] frozen out [Am] and I've been on [F]
[C] fire and the [G] tears are [F] mine to weep
[Am] But I can [F] cry until I [Am] laugh or [G] laugh [F] until I cry
[C] So cut the jack [Am] right [F] in [C] half
I'll play from [F] either side
[C] I take my [G] chances
[F] I pay [C] my [G] dollar and I [F] place my bet
I [G] take my chances
[F] I take [C] my chances every [F] chance I get
I take [C] my chances
[F] Yeah, I [C] don't cling to remorse [F] or regret
I take [C] my chances
[F] I take [C] my chances every [F] chance I get
I take [C] my chances
[F] I
