Chances Are - Hayes Carll 
DChances are I took the wrong turn D7every time I had a turn to Gtake 
And I Aguess I broke my own heart every chance I had a heart to Dbreak 
                                 D                             D7   Gwalk down Em  
And it seems I spent my whole life wishin' on the same unlucky star 
And as I Awatch you cross the barroom, I wonder, what my chances Dare 
DWell, I know you've been around and you've D7seen what you needed to Gsee
And at Anight when you're dreamin,' you're probably not dreamin' bout Dme 
                                          D                                 D7   Gwalk down Em  
Oh, it's safe to say I've stumbled but I've managed to make it through this far 
As I take Aone step and then another, I wonder, what my chances Dare 
EmI have watched the world go by Ghand in hand, and wondered why I'm Dstill so alone 
BmCould I lay down my foolish pride, Emaybe finally find my heart a Ahome? 
DThe band has started D7playing a simple song I used to Gknow 
I Atake your hand and walk you out, dance to the rhythm way down Dlow 
                          D                     D7   Gwalk down Em  
Every heart has got a story mine just has a few scars 
But they could Aheal if you would hold me and tell me what my chances Dare 
Well, they could Aheal if you would hold me and tell me what my chances Gare G  A  D
