[Verse]
F#mI knew when I met you something was going to Dmaj7happen
My F#mlife was all unbalanced nothing had been going Bright
You said Ewhat's a lonesome cowboy like you doing in the F#mcity
I said BmI don't know but I Dguess I'll find out toEnight
AStill taking chances taking candy from strangers
DSpeeding up on curves ignoring the dangers
AFeel like a fool learning new dances
It Ekeeps me on my toesE/D  E/C#  E/B  
AStill taking chances ain't scaared of winning
DSwinging for the bleachers in the 9th inning
AStill taking chances befEore chances take me Daway
Before chances take me F#maway
F#mMaybe I should have thought it over
When you said will you join me Dmaj7later
