Tabbed By Adam Schneider Intro I took a walk in the rain one day On the wrong side of the tracks I stood on the rails till I saw that train Just to see how my heart would react Now some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate And for them I can not disagree But I never learned nothing from playing it safe I say fate should not tempt me I take my chances; I don't mind working without a net I take my chances; I take my chances every chance I get I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote I found a preacher who spoke of the light but there was brimstone in his throat He'd show me the way according to him in return for my personal check I flipped the channel back to CNN, and I lit another cigarette I take my chances; yes, forgiveness doesn't come with a debt I take my chances; I take my chances every chance I get Solo I've crossed lines of words and wire, and both have cut me deep I've been frozen out and I've been on fire, and the tears are mine to weep But I can cry until I laugh, or laugh until I cry So cut the deck right in half, I'll play from either side I take my chances; I pay my dollar and I place my bet I take my chances; I take my chances every chance I get I take my chances; yeah, I don't cling to remorse or regret I take my chances; I take my chances every chance I get I take my chances...
