Chances Are

(album: KMAG YOYO (& Other American Stories) - 2011)

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
Wishing 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 dreaming
You're probably not dreaming '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
