Chances Are

Here's my grandpa's old Gibson

And a girl of no importance

A shot of whiskey sitting on the bar

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 going in where

I'll probably go too far

Probably away from you

Chances are chances are

There's a lonely corner waiting

The deuce is left for playing

I'll tell her everything she wants to hear

Well, I've gotten worse at this love we're makin'

I'm better at the breaking

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 going in where

I'll probably go too far

Probably away from you

Chances are chances are

Hold me like I mean it

Say 'til you believe it

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

But 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 going in where

I'll probably go too far

Probably away from you

Chances are chances are
