I Take My Chances
By Mary-Chapin Carpenter

Tabbed By Adam Schneider

Capo 5

Intro G  D  C  C    G  D  C  C


G        D           Em       C
I took a walk in the rain one day
       G          D      C
On the wrong side of the tracks
    G           D           Em        C
I stood on the rails till I saw that train
         G           D            C
Just to see how my heart would react
    Em          Bm             C             C
Now some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate
        Em          D        C
And for them I can not disagree
      G              D             Em        C
But I never learned nothing from playing it safe
       G          G/B       C
I say fate should not tempt me

     C       G    D   C    C          G          D      C   C
I take my chances;      I don't mind working without a net
     C       G    D   C    C        G           D         C   C 
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

G  D  C  C    G  D  C  C    G  D  C  C    G  D  C  C

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...

Repeat G D C C end on G

If you could figure out the intro to this song that would be awsome but anyway good work on the chords!
