Chances Are

Here's my grandpa's old Gibson

And a girl of no importance

A shot of whiskey sitting on the bar

Yeah, I used to give a damn

I used to try real hard

But I'll give in tonight, chances are

One foot on the narrow way

And one foot on the ledge

Sifting through the devil's lies

From what the good book says

If I'm goin' anywhere, I'll probably go too far

Probably away from you, chances are, chances are

There's a lonely corner waiting

Two seats left for playing

And I'll tell her everything she wants to hear

Well, I'm not worse love this making

I'm better at the breakin'

A guy like me knows how to disappear

One foot on the narrow way

And one foot on the ledge

Sifting through the devil's lies

From what the good book says

If I'm goin' anywhere, I'll probably go too far

Probably away from you, chances are, chances are

Hold me like I mean it

And say till you believe it

And we'll see if we can fill an empty heart

Well, I won't tell you what the chances are

One foot on the narrow way

And one foot on the ledge

Sifting through the devil's lies

From what the good book says

If I'm goin' anywhere, I'll probably go too far

Probably away from you, chances are, chances are
