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
