              Intro:A
 
Am    E/G#      A/G 
You remind me I live in a shell, 
A4/7  A7       Dm             Dm/C 
Safe from the past, and doing okay, 
              G    G7 
But not very well. 
C               G/B    G/Bb        A7 
No jolts, no surprises, no crisis arises. 
              Dm                                        
My life goes along as it should. 
     Dm/C               G         E4/7 E7  
It's all very nice, but not very good. 
 
          Am             Dm 
And I'm ready to take a chance again, 
G                G#º              Am 
Ready to put my love on the line with you. 
      F                      G             
Been living with nothing to show for it, 
     Dm                       F       G 
You get what you get when you go for it. 
         C               Am             E4/7 E7 
And I'm ready to take a chance again with you. 
 
Am        E/G#       A/G 
When she left me, in all my despair, 
A4/7 A7     Dm                    Dm/C 
I just held on, my hopes were all gone, 
     G           E4/7 E7 
Then I found you there. 
          Am             Dm 
And I'm ready to take a chance again, 
G                G#º              Am 
Ready to put my love on the line with you. 
      F                      G             
Been living with nothing to show for it, 
     Dm                       F       G# 
You get what you get when you go for it. 
          Bbm             D#m 
And I'm ready to take a chance again, 
G#                Aº              Bbm 
Ready to put my love on the line with you. 
      F#                      G#             
Been living with nothing to show for it, 
     D#m                       F#       G# 
You get what you get when you go for it. 
          Bbm             D#m 
And I'm ready to take a chance again, 
         C#               Bbm             F4/7 F7 
And I'm ready to take a chance again with you. 
          Bbm D#m G# Aº Bbm 
With you.
