@SONG: NO CHANCE
By Lou Reed
>From album Magic and Loss
Released in 1992
No Chance
>From the album "Magic and Loss" -Lou Reed
 Intro is:  A   A   A   A   D   Dplayed rapidly.
 AIt must be nice to be steady, it must be nice to be firm
 AIt DmAust be nice never to move off of the mark
 Ait must be nice to be dependable and never let anyone down
 AIt DmAust be great to be all the things you're not
 AIt DmAust be great to be all the things I am not
 AI see you in the hospital your humor is intact
 AI'Dm Aembarrasses by the strengh I seem to lack
 AIf I was in your shoes
 Aso strange that I am not
 DI'Ad fold up in a minute and a half
 DI'Ad fold up in a minute and a half
 AAnDd EI Adidn't get a chance to say goodbye
 It must be nice to be normal it must be nice to be cold
 It must be nice not to have to go oh up or down
 But me I'm all emotional no matter how I try
 You're gone and I'm still here alive
 You're gone and I am still alive
 and I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
 No - I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
 There are things we say we wish we knew and in fact we never do
 But I wish I'd known that you were going to die
 Then I wouldn't feel so stupid, such a fool that I didn't call
 And I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
 I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
 No there's no logic to this - who's picked to stay or go
 If you think too hard it only makes you mad
 But your optimism made me think you really had it beat
 So I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
 I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
