I'm Taking This Chance
  Chorus (slowly)
  G              D
  So what would you say if I said what I felt?
         Em          C
  If I opened up instead of bottling up?
  G      D
  Would you think I was crazy?
                             Em        C
  Or would you say you felt the same?
  G      D
  I could never say this ‘cause I don’t like my chances
  Em       C
  The odds are not in my favor,
  G   D                          G
  But, hey, what would happen if they where?
  
  G        D
  The way I think things are is that you never think
  Em
  That something could happen
            C
  Till it happens to you
  G
  Then that one day hits and you think,
  D
  “Wait, what’s going on?”
  Em
  And apparently your friends knew
  C
  They knew it was inevitable
  
  Pre-Chorus
  Em    C
  I know I’m not saying something crazy
  Em    G
  I’m just stating the truth
  Em               C
  Something I what to say to you
  Em       C
  Just something I know needs to be said
  
  Chorus
  G              D
  So what would you say if I said what I felt?
         Em          C
  If I opened up instead of bottling up?
  G      D
  Would you think I was crazy?
                             Em        C
  Or would you say you felt the same? (say you felt the same)
  G      D
  I could never say this ‘cause I don’t like my chances
  Em       C
  The odds are not in my favor,
  G   D                          G
  But, hey, what would happen if they where?
  G            D
  The way things are is you never think
                    Em                  C
  That the thing that was so impossible could ever get any bigger
  G             D
  I know it’s close to impossible but,
              Em                  C
  What would happen if it did?
  Pre-Chorus
  Em   C
  You might think I’m crazy
  Em        G  Em
  you might feel much differently
  Em          C      D
  But even though I can’t say out from behind my guitar
  
  That doesn’t mean I don’t know it needs to be said
Chorus
So what would you say if I said what I felt?
If I opened up instead of bottling up?
Would you think I was crazy for what I think?
Or would you say you felt the same?
  The thing is I could never say this because I don’t like my chances
  
  The odds are not in my favor,
But, hey, what would happen if they where?
  
  The way things are is you never think
That the thing that was impossible could get any bigger
I still sing the truth but I still wonder
What would happen if it did?
  
  You get your hopes up just to knock them down
So you choose to keep them down
But I’m done with thinking those things,
Cause I know if I don’t, ill regret it
Bridge
You get your hopes up just to knock them down
So you choose to keep them down
But I’m done with thinking those things,
Cause I know if I don’t, ill regret it
