I'm Taking This Chance
Chorus (slowly)
G D
So what would you say if I said what I felt?
Em C
If I opened up instead of bottling up?
G D
Would you think I was crazy?
Em C
Or would you say you felt the same?
G D
I could never say this ‘cause I don’t like my chances
Em C
The odds are not in my favor,
G D G
But, hey, what would happen if they where?
G D
The way I think things are is that you never think
Em
That something could happen
C
Till it happens to you
G
Then that one day hits and you think,
D
“Wait, what’s going on?”
Em
And apparently your friends knew
C
They knew it was inevitable
Pre-Chorus
Em C
I know I’m not saying something crazy
Em G
I’m just stating the truth
Em C
Something I what to say to you
Em C
Just something I know needs to be said
Chorus
G D
So what would you say if I said what I felt?
Em C
If I opened up instead of bottling up?
G D
Would you think I was crazy?
Em C
Or would you say you felt the same? (say you felt the same)
G D
I could never say this ‘cause I don’t like my chances
Em C
The odds are not in my favor,
G D G
But, hey, what would happen if they where?
G D
The way things are is you never think
Em C
That the thing that was so impossible could ever get any bigger
G D
I know it’s close to impossible but,
Em C
What would happen if it did?
Pre-Chorus
Em C
You might think I’m crazy
Em G Em
you might feel much differently
Em C D
But even though I can’t say out from behind my guitar
That doesn’t mean I don’t know it needs to be said
Chorus
So what would you say if I said what I felt?
If I opened up instead of bottling up?
Would you think I was crazy for what I think?
Or would you say you felt the same?
The thing is I could never say this because I don’t like my chances
The odds are not in my favor,
But, hey, what would happen if they where?
The way things are is you never think
That the thing that was impossible could get any bigger
I still sing the truth but I still wonder
What would happen if it did?
You get your hopes up just to knock them down
So you choose to keep them down
But I’m done with thinking those things,
Cause I know if I don’t, ill regret it
Bridge
You get your hopes up just to knock them down
So you choose to keep them down
But I’m done with thinking those things,
Cause I know if I don’t, ill regret it
