    G D Em C
  • I took a walk in the rain one day
    G D C C
    On the wrong side of the tracks
  • G D Em C
    I stood on the rails till I saw that train
    G D C C
  • Just to see how my heart would react
    Em Bm C C
    Now some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate
  • Em D C C
    And for them I can not disagree
    G D Em C
  • But I never learned nothing from playing it safe
    G G/B C C
    I say fate should not tempt me

    I take my chances; I don't mind working without a net
  • (C) G D C C G D C C
    I take my chances; I take my chances every chance I get
     
  • I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote
    I found a preacher who spoke of the light but there was brimstone in his throat
    He'd show me the way according to him in return for my personal check
  • I flipped the channel back to CNN, and I lit another cigarette
     
    I take my chances; yes, forgiveness doesn't come with a debt
  • I take my chances; I take my chances every chance I get

    I've crossed lines of words and wire, and both have cut me deep
  • I've been frozen out and I've been on fire, and the tears are mine to weep
    But I can cry until I laugh, or laugh until I cry
    So cut the deck right in half, I'll play from either side
  •  
    I take my chances; I pay my dollar and I place my bet
    I take my chances; I take my chances every chance I get
  • I take my chances; yeah, I don't cling to remorse or regret
    I take my chances; I take my chances every chance I get
    I take my chances...
  •  
    [Repeat G D C C; end on G.]
     
  • [Concert ad-lib lyrics:]
    No remorse, no regrets
    I chewed another Nicorette
  • I ordered up some crepes Suzette
    I found Elvis on the Internet
    I went camping with a young cadet
  • He showed me his bayonet
    I looked at him and said, "you should get an Erector set"
    Who needs a boyfriend, you can get a pet

  • The electric guitar actually plays this in C with no capo. These are the
    right notes; I'm not sure about the exact fingerings.
