Five for Fighting - Chances
This is the very simple way that the lead singer of Five for Fighting plays it when
the acoustic version. He uses slight muting of the low E string throughout the song, but it
really make a difference if you're playing along with the song. If you can't figure out
strumming pattern, watch this YouTube video to see how he does it -

Introduction : G x4
Verse:
G
Chances are when said and done
Em7
Who'll be the lucky ones
G
Who make it all the way?
G
Though you say I could be your answer
Em7
Nothing lasts forever
G D
No matter how it feels today
Chorus:
G D
Chances are we´ll find a new equation
G D
Chances roll away from me
Em7 D G (pause)
Chances are all they hope to be
G
G
Don't get me wrong I'd never say never
G
Cause though love can change the weather
Em7
No act of God can pull me away from you
G
I´m just a realistic man
G
A bottle filled with shells and sand
Em7 G
Afraid to love beyond what I can lose when it comes to you
D
And though I see us through yeah
G D
Chances are we´ll find two destinations
G D
Chances roll away from me
Em7 D G
Still chances are more than expectations
Em7
The possibilities
G
Over me
G
Eight to five, two to one
D
Lay your money on the sun
G Em7
until you crash what have you done?
G
Is there a better bet than love?
G
What you are is what you breathe
D
You gotta cry before you sing
G D G D
Chances chances
Em7 D G
Chances lost are hopes torn up pages
G
Maybe this time
G D
Chances are we´ll be the combination
G D
Chances come and carry me
Em7 D G
Chances are waiting to be taken
G
And I can see
G D
Chances are the fascination
G D
Chances won't escape from me
Em7 D G (Stop)
Chances are only what we make them
And all I need
G, Em7, G
