[Verse]
   F                               C
Oh baby why not just take one more chance,
                                       F
And risk all we got on this luckless romance.
                           F7        Bb
If someone asks why, we'll say we forgot,
                 F         C        F
And went kind of crazy, oh baby why not.
[Refrain]
   C                     Bb       F
If love needs a fool for it to survive,
   C                        Bb        F
It sure looks to me like we both qualify.
                         F7          Bb
And a pair of fools will always beat one,
                  F         C             F
So let's play the cards and get this deal done.
[Verse]
   F                           C
Oh baby why not bet big on the bliss,
                                         F
And laugh in the face of what all odds insist.
                           F7        Bb
If someone asks why, we'll say we forgot,
                  F         C        F
And both lost our minds, oh baby why not.

C       F               C                     F
Oh baby please, you and I are exactly what we need.
   Bb                         F
So let's throw away all care, move out on the edge somewhere,
C
Find a place and just swing there in the breeze.
[Verse]
   F                               C
Oh baby why not just take one more chance,

And risk all we got on this luckless romance.
                           F7        Bb
If someone asks why, we'll say we forgot,

And threw our lives away, oh baby why not.
    Bb         F         C        F
And went kinda crazy, oh baby why not.
    Bb            F         C        F
And both lost our minds, oh baby why not.
