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 watch you cross the barroom, 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 far 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, maybe finally find my heart a home? The band has started playing a simple song I used to know I take your hand and walk you out, dance to the rhythm way down low Every heart has got a story mine just has a few scars But they could heal if you would hold me and tell me what my chances are Well, they could heal if you would hold me and tell me what my chances are
