F#m                                          Dmaj7
I knew when I met you something was going to happen
   F#m                                            B
My life was all unbalanced nothing had been going right
         E                                             F#m 
You said what's a lonesome cowboy like you doing in the city
       Bm                 D                     E
I said I don't know but I guess I'll find out tonight
A
Still taking chances taking candy from strangers
D
Speeding up on curves ignoring the dangers
A
Feel like a fool learning new dances
   E                               E/D  E/C#   E/B
It keeps me on my toes
A
Still taking chances ain't scaared of winning
D
Swinging for the bleachers in the 9th inning
A                       E                   D    
Still taking chances before chances take me away
                       F#m
Before chances take me away
F#m                             
Maybe I should have thought it over
                               Dmaj7
When you said will you join me later
F#m                                B
I said honey I dopn't know if it's right
E                                                 F#m      
But when you turned and walked down the street I followed
            Bm                D              E
I felt like I was following a truckload of dynamite
A
Still taking chances taking candy from strangers
D
Speeding up on curves ignoring the dangers
A
Feel like a fool learning new dances
   E                         E/D  E/C#   E/B
It keeps me on my toes
A
Still taking chances ain't scared of winning
D
Swinging for the bleachers in the 9th inning
A                       E                   D    
Still taking chances before chances take me away
                       F#m
Before chances take me away

SOLO

E                                   F#m
Been three years now since we got together
           Bm 
You took a chncae on me
        D                           E
Now I'm out here taking chances for you
A
Still taking chances taking candy from strangers
D
Speeding up on curves ignoring the dangers
A
Feel like a fool learning new dances
   E                      E/D  E/C#   E/B
It keeps me on my toes
A
Still taking chances ain't scared of winning
D
Swinging for the bleachers in the 9th inning
A                       E                   D    
Still taking chances before chances take me away
                       F#m
Before chances take me away
