Chances are I took the wrong turn Every time I had a turn to take And I guess I broke my own heart Every chance I had a heart to break And it seems I spent my whole life Wishin' on the same unlucky star And as I watched you 'cross the bar room I wonder what my chances are Well, I know you've been around And you've seen what you needed to see And at night when you're dreamin' You're probably not dreamin' 'bout me Oh, it's safe to say I've stumbled But I've managed to make it through this fall As I take one step and then another I wonder what my chances are I have watched the world go by, hand in hand And wondered why I'm still so alone Could I lay down my foolish pride And maybe finally find my heart a home The band has started playing A simple songs I used to know And I take your hand and walk you out Danced through the rhythm way down low Every heart has got a story Mine just has few more scars But they could heal if you will hold me And tell me what my chances are Well, it could heal if you will hold me And tell me what my chances are
