Key of D
[Intro]
D Bm Bm G Em A
D
You can dance every dance with somebody else
Bm
And leave with whoever you like
G
Fall for every guy with a sympathetic lie
Em A
And convince yourself that he's Mr. Right
D
But when all of your heroes have let you down
Bm
And none of your loves has come through
G
When you're busted and you've broken down to your
Em A
last token you think there's nothing left to lose
[Chorus]
D
All I'm askin' is... ( ooh baby save the last chance)
Bm
Save it for me (could you maybe save the last chance)
G A
Before you give up on love save the last chance for me
D Bm Bm G Em A
D
Now I know that love is a roll of the dice
Bm
It's only a draw of the cards
G
Just a gambler's game no two lovers play the same
Em A
And the odds are for a broken heart
D
And I can tell you've never held the right hand yet
Bm
And the dealers say 'read em' and weep'
G
But if you call me I'll see you on that you can bet
Em A
I'll be the ace up your sleeve
[Chorus]
D C#m and go into Bridge
[Bridge]
Bm
( Save the last chance) when you're almost out of love
A
(Don't you give up on romance baby) don't you give up
Bm
( lay it on the line) just one more time
G A
Baby take a long shot you might hit the jackpot
[Instrumental]
