I TOOK A WALK
IN THE RAIN ONE DAY
ON THE WRONG SIDE
OF THE TRACKS
I STOOD ON THE RAIL
TILL I SAW THAT TRAIN
JUST TO SEE
HOW MY HEART
WOULD REACT
NOW SOME PEOPLE SAY
THAT YOU SHOULDN'T
TEMPT FATE
AND FOR THEM
I COULD NOT DISAGREE
BUT I NEVER LEARNED
NOTHING FROM
PLAYING IT SAFE
I SAY FATE SHOULD
NOT TEMPT ME
I TAKE MY CHANCES
I DON'T MIND WORKING
WITHOUT A NET
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 MY 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
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
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'LL TAKE MY CHANCES
I'LL PAY MY DOLLAR
AND I'LL PLACE MY BET
I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES
I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES
EVERY CHANCE I GET
I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES
YEAH I DON'T CLING
TO REMORSE OR REGRET
I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES
I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES
EVERY CHANCE I GET
I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES
