Lyrics

Chanc es are, when said and done,

who’ll be the luck y ones

who make it all the way?

Though you say I could be your an swer, noth ing lasts for ev er, no mat ter how it feels to day.

Chanc es are,

we’ll find a new e qua tion.

Chanc es roll a way from me.

Chanc es are

(Eb)all they hope

to be.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d nev er say nev er; ’cause, though love can’t change the weath er, no (Gm7)act of God could pull me a way from you.

I’m (Bbsus2)just a re al is tic man, a (Bbsus2)bot tle filled with shells and sand, a (Gm7)fraid to look be yond what I could lose when it comes to you.

And though I’d see us through, yeah,

chanc es are

we’ll find two des ti na tions.

Chanc es roll a way from me.

Still, chanc es are

(Eb)more than ex pec ta tions

but pos si bil i ties

o ver me.

(Bb)Eight to five we’re two to one, (Bbmaj7)lay your mon ey on the sun.

Un (Gm7)til you crash, what have you done?

Is (Bb)there a bet ter bet than love?

(Bb)What you are is what you bring.

You (Bbmaj7)got ta cry be fore you sing.

(Eb)Chanc es...

Chanc es...

Chanc es lost

are (Eb)hope’s torn out pag es.

May be this time...

Chanc es are, es are we’ll be the com bi na tion.

Chanc es come and car from me.

me.

Chanc es are

(Eb)wait ing to be tak en;

and I can see...

Chanc es are, es are we’ll be the fas ci na tion.

Chanc es won’t es cape from me.

me.

Chanc es are

(Eb)on ly what we make them,

and I can see...

and all I need.
