Still Taking Chances by Michael Martin Murphey




              Still Taking Chances 






[Intro]
F#m  Dmaj7  F#m  Dmaj7
 
[Verse]
F#m                                          Dmaj7
I knew when I met you something was going to happen
   F#m                                          B
My life was off-balanced nothing had been going right
         E                 D               Bm           F#m
You said what's a lonesome cowboy like you doing in the city
       Bm                 D                    E   D  Dbm Bm
I said I don't know but I guess I'll find out tonight
 
[Chorus]
A
Still taking chances taking candy from strangers
D
Speeding up on curves ignoring the dangers
A               D A
Feel like a fool learning new dances
   E              D  Ddm Bm
It keeps me on my toes
A
Still taking chances ain't scared of winning
D
Swinging for the bleachers in the 9th inning
A                       E                   D
Still taking chances before chances take me away
 Bm                      F#m   Dmaj7
Before chances take me away
 
[Verse]
F#m
Maybe I should have thought it over
                               Dmaj7
When you said will you join me later
F#m                                B
I said honey I don't know if it's right
E                                                 F#m
But when you turned and walked down the street I followed
   B                          D                E     D  Ddm Bm
I felt like I was following a truckload of, of dynamite
 
[Chorus]
A
Still taking chances taking candy from strangers
D
Speeding up on curves ignoring the dangers
A
Feel like a fool learning new dances
   E              D   Ddm  Bm
It keeps me on my toes
A
Still taking chances ain't scared of winning
D
Swinging for the bleachers in the 9th inning
A                       E                   D
Still taking chances before chances take me away
 Bm                    F#m  Dmaj7  F#m  B
Before chances take me away
 
[Bridge]
E         D      Ddm       Bm     F#m
Been three years now since we got together
           Bm
You took a chance on me
        D                           E   D
Now I'm out here taking chances for you
Ddm   Bm  E
I'll just prove I'm
 
[Chorus/Outro]
A
Still taking chances taking candy from strangers
D
Speeding up on curves ignoring the dangers
A               D A
Feel like a fool learning new dances
   E              D    Ddm Bm
It keeps me on my toes
A
Still taking chances ain't scared of winning
D
Swinging for the bleachers in the 9th inning
A                       E                   D
Still taking chances before chances take me away
 Bm             A
Before, take me away   take me away
                         E      D      Ddm   Bm
take me away   Give me a chance now darling  Yeah
A                       D
Still taking chances    Still taking chances 
A                    E  D  Ddm  Bm
Still taking chances     
A
Still taking chances   (Fade)
