Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Chances are when said and done
Who'll be the lucky ones
Who make it all the way?
Though you say I could be your answer
Nothin' lasts forever
No matter how it feels today
[Verse 2]
Chances are we'll find a new equation
Chances roll away from me
Chances are
All they hope to be
[Verse 3]
Don't get me wrong, I never say never
'Cause though love can change the weather
No act of God could pull me away from you
I'm just a realistic man
A bottle filled with shells and sand
Afraid to look beyond what I can lose when it comes to you
[Verse 4]
And though I see us through, yeah
[Verse 5]
Chances are we'll find two destinations
Chances roll away from me
Still chances are more than expectations
But possibilities
Over me
[Verse 6]
It's a fight, we're two to one
Lay your money on the sun
Until you crash, what have you done?
Is there a better bet than love?
What you are is what you bring
You gotta cry before you sing
[Verse 7]
Chances
Chances
[Verse 8]
Chances lost are hope's torn-out pages
Maybe this time
[Verse 9]
Chances are we'll be the combination
Chances come and carry me
Chances are waitin' to be taken
And I can see
[Verse 10]
Chances are the fascination
Chances won't escape from me
Chances are only what we make them
And all I need
