Am    4x

[Verse]
Am                            F
If you were a cowboy I would trail you,
Am                              F               C
if you were a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor,
Dm                             G               C
if you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore,

Am                            F
if you were a river I would swim you,
Am                          F                    C
if you were a house I would live in you all my days,
Dm                         G                    C
if you were a preacher I’d begin to change my ways,

[Chorus]
Am                     F
sometimes I believe in fate
                    G
but the chances we create,
                         F
always seem to ring more true,
Dm                         G
you took a chance on loving me,
                           C  C/Bb      Am7     Am7/G
I took a chance on loving you
C  C/Bb Am7     Am7/G

[Verse]
Am                              F
if I was in jail I know you'd spring me,
Am                          F               C
if I were a telephone you'd ring me all day long,
Dm                            G                C
if I was in pain I know you'd sing me soothing songs,

Am                     F
sometimes I believe in fate
                    G
but the chances we create,
                         F
always seem to ring more true,
Dm                         G
you took a chance on loving me,
                           C
I took a chance on loving you

[INTERMEZZO]

Am                         F
if I was hungry you would feed me,
Am                              F               C
if I was in darkness you would lead me to the light,
Dm                           G             C
if I was a book I know you'd read me every night,

Am                            F
If you were a cowboy I would trail you,
Am                              F               C
if you were a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor,
Dm                             G               C
if you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore,

Dm                             G               C
if you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore,

Dm                             G               C
if you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
