Odds Are

Written by Kevin Griffin/Ed Robertson

	  		
Intro: Cadd9, G, Em7, D  

verse 1 
(D)       Cadd9 
Struck by lightning, 
                     G 
Sounds pretty frightening, 
                     Em7         D 
But you know the chances are so small. 
           Cadd9 
Stuck by a bee sting, 
                  G 
Nothing but a bee thing, 
                           Em7            D 
Better chance you're gonna buy it at the mall. 
           Cadd9                    
But it's a twenty-three or four-to-one, 
     G                    Em7                D 
That you can fall in love by the end of this song. 
   Cadd9 
So get up, get up, 
                G 
Tell the bookie "put a bet on", 
           Em7           D 
Not a damn thing will go wrong. 

Chorus 
    Cadd9         G            Em7 
The odds are that we will probably be, 
D 
Alright, 
Cadd9                G 
Odds are we gonna be alright, 
     Em7               D 
Odds are we gonna be alright tonight, 
    Cadd9         G            Em7 
The odds are that we will probably be, 
D 
Alright, 
Cadd9                G 
Odds are we gonna be alright, 
     Em7              D                        (Cadd9) 
Odds are we gonna be alright for another night. 

verse 2 
Hit by the A-train, 
Crashed in an airplane, 
I wouldn't recommend either one, 
Killed by a great white, 
Or a meteorite, 
I guess there ain't no way to go that's fun, 
But somewhere in the world, 
Someone is gonna fall in love by the end of this song. 
So get up, get up, 
No, it's never gonna let up, 
So you might as well sing along. 

Chorus 

Bridge 
Cadd9   G         Em7 
 Sure things go wrong, 
    D              Cadd9 
But I'll take my chances, 
 G       Em7 
Odds are long, 
   D       Cadd9, G, Em7, D 
So why not plaaaaaaaaaaaay? 

Instrumental 
Cadd9, G, Em7, D 

verse 3 
Struck by lightning, 
Sounds pretty frightening, 
But you know the chances are so small, 
Hit by the A-train, 
Crashed in an airplane, 
Better chance you're gonna buy it at the mall, 
But it's a twenty-three or four-to-one, 
That you can fall in love by the end of this song, 
So get up, get up, 
No, I'm never gonna let up, 
So you might as well sing along. 

Chorus (x2)

Cadd9, G, Em7, D
