I TAKE MY CHANCES (Mary Chapin Carpenter & Don Schlitz)
-------------------------------------------------------
(Actually in C, so capo at the 5th fret; each chord is half a measure.)
[Intro]
G D C C G D C C
[Verse 1]
G D Em C
I took a walk in the rain one day
G D C C
On the wrong side of the tracks
G D Em C
I stood on the rails till I saw that train
G D C C
Just to see how my heart would react
Em Bm C C
Now some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate
Em D C C
And for them I can not disagree
G D Em C
But I never learned nothing from playing it safe
G G/B C
I say fate should not tempt me
[Chorus]
(C) G D C
I take my chances;
G D C
I don't mind working without a net
(C) G D C
I take my chances;
(C) G D C C
I take my chances every chance I get
[Verse 2]
G D Em C
I sat alone in the dark one night,
G D C C
tuning in by remote
G D Em C
I found a preacher who spoke of the light
G D C C
but there was brimstone in his throat
Em Bm C C
He'd show me the way according to him
Em D C C
in return for my personal check
G D Em C
I flipped the channel back to CNN,
G G/B C
and I lit another cigarette
