F#m                                          Dmaj7
I knew when I met you something was going to happen

   F#m                                          B
My life was off-balanced nothing had been going right

         E                 D               Bm           F#m 
You said what's a lonesome cowboy like you doing in the city

       Bm                 D                    E   D  Dbm Bm 
I said I don't know but I guess I'll find out tonight
[Chorus]
A
Still taking chances taking candy from strangers

D
Speeding up on curves ignoring the dangers

A               D A
Feel like a fool learning new dances

   E              D  Ddm Bm           
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

Before chances take me away
[Verse]
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 don't know if it's right

E                                                 F#m      
But when you turned and walked down the street I followed

   B                          D                E     D  Ddm Bm
I felt like I was following a truckload of, of dynamite
[Chorus]

E         D      Ddm       Bm     F#m
Been three years now since we got together

           Bm 
You took a chance on me

        D                           E   D
Now I'm out here taking chances for you

I'll just prove I'm
