Lyrics

If you change your mind I’m the first in line, hon ey I’m still free, take a chance on me, if you need me let me know, gon na be a round if you got no place to go when you’re (Bb)feel ing down.

If you’re all a lone when the pret ty birds have flown, hon ey I’m still free, take a chance on me, gon na do my ver y best and it ain’t no lie, if you put me to the test, if you (Bb)let me try, take a (Cm)chance on me,

take a (Cm)chance on me,

(Cm)We can go danc ing, we can go walk ing, as (Bb)long as we’re to geth er.

(Cm)Lis ten to some mus ic, may be just talk ing you’d (Bb)get to know me bet ter.
