Intro: F (4x)
 
F 
Its two a.m and this old bar is closing 
Bb 
He knows the partners have been chosen 
             C 
But in the corner both, he spots lonely youth, 
          F 
and he catches her eye 
 
F 
And he moves fast and says my name is Steven 
             Bb 
Guess I blew my chance since everyone is leaving 
           C 
She stands up to go, never says hello 
               F 
But she never says goodbye  
 
F          Bb                                        F 
Then she smiles and leans her head back towards the door 
            Bb                                  C  
And as she takes his hand His jaw falls to the floor 
 
                  Bb 
Now we all take chances  
       C          F              Bb 
Every once in a while, we take chances 
         C                F 
If it?s just to ease our minds 
Bb                       C       Dm 
  We all take chances, wrong or right 
             Bb           C            F 
Ah but sometimes chances take us by surprise 
 
F 
Morning light comes shining throw her window 
Bb 
She wakes just in time to hear him go 
           C 
She curls up in bed, Hands on her head 
      F 
Tears in her eyes 
 
F 
She relives the night they spend together 
  Bb 
Shouts out loud "Lord knows I knew better!" 
           C 
Then she hears a sound, slips on her gown 
          F 
takes a look outside 
 
F      Bb                                    F 
With coffee and flowers He walks toward the door 
           Bb                                       C 
And as he says "Good Morning" Her jaw falls to the floor 
                  Bb 
Now we all take chances  
 
 
       C         F               Bb 
Every once in a while, we take chances 
         C                F 
If it's just to ease our minds 
Bb                      C        Dm 
  We all take chances, wrong or right 
            Bb             C            F 
Ah but sometimes chances, take us by surprise  
 
          Bb             C            F 
Yeah sometimes chances, take us by surprise 
 
mmm hmmm mmm mmmm mmm
