The Chance

Written by Deanna Bryant/Liz Hengber

	  		**** 
INTRO: F#m  E   D 2x 
 
VERSE 1: 
 
A                      D 
I found a book that my mama kept 
A                       D 
Filled with secrets she hid 
A         E         F#m       E         D     E 
And in a dusty old attic, one mornin' I read 
A               D 
About a woman I never met 
F#m     E                D 
Who had dreams just like mine 
                  E                      D     E 
With every page I turned, the words came alive 
 
 
Chorus: 
             A                       D 
Wish I could roll out of town like a runaway train 
     F#m     E              D 
I'll do as I dare, let them call me insane  
            A         E             F#m       A           D     E 
I'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance 
                  F#m E  D   F#m  E  D 
If I just had the chance 
 
 
VERSE 2: 
 
A                   D 
A tear fell on that faded page 
A                      D 
Cause this was somebody else 
A       E      F#m            A          D       E 
Not the Mama I knew who never thought of herself 
A                        D 
But the times, they were different then 
F#m       E               D 
And lines just didn't get crossed 
                         A                       D     E 
And these words that she wrote, they somehow got lost 
 
 
Chorus: 
             A                       D 
Wish I could roll out of town like a runaway train 
     F#m     E              D 
I'll do as I dare, let them call me insane  
            A         E            F#m        A           D     E 
I'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance 
                  F#m  E   D   F#m  E   D   G   D  C  E 
If I just had the chance 
 
 
VERSE 3: 
 
A                   D 
The chance that she never had 
A                       D 
Is now the gift that is mine 
A       E            F#m              A           D    E 
And out here on this road, I'm makin' up for lost time 
A             D 
Yeah, I am my mother's child 
F#m   E             D 
And tonight in this car 
                      A                             D     E 
I got her words in my suitcase and her dreams in my heart 
 
Chorus: 
     A                       D 
As I roll out of town like a runaway train 
     F#m     E              D 
I'll do as I dare, let them call me insane  
            A         E             F#m       A           D     E 
I'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance 
                       F#m E  D   
While I still have the chance 
            A         E             F#m       A           D     E 
I'll never sit on the sidelines of life, I'll dance every dance 
                              F#m  E   D 
While I still have the chance
