I'm not one to take chances
(A) I've always played it safe
But (B7) girl I've been out on a limb
Since I saw your smiling (E) face
I feel like I'm walking a tightrope
When (A) I'm out walking with you
(B7) It's a dangerous liason
I've got my heart in(E)to
'Cause we're not a (E) sure thing
Too soon to (E7) tell if we're the (A) real thing
But this (B7) time it's worth taking a chance
On you and (E) me
But if doesn't work out
Should you dec(E7)ide to (A) walk out
Well that's all right with (F#m) me
'Cause girl I know you'd (B7) be
A great (E) memory
(E) Some folks would die for this moment
But (A) I've lived for this moment in time
The (B7) love you bring may be a fleeting thing
But oh right now it's (E) mine
If I should wind up lonely
Well (A) I won't mind being alone
'Cause (B7) if it works out that you leave me
Least I'll have you to look back (E) on
'Cause we're not a (E) sure thing
Too soon to (E7) tell if we're the (A) real thing
But this (B7) time it's worth taking a chance
On you and (E) me
But if doesn't work out
Should you dec(E7)ide to (A) walk out
Well that's all right with (F#m) me
'Cause girl I know you'd (B7) be
A great (E) memory
Well that's all right with (F#m) me
'Cause girl I know you'd (B7) be
A great (E) memory
