Chance Lyrics

By: Ben Mc
This is for Jim
Key of D Major
Chords Used:
Dsus2 Em7 G A D/A Bm F#m D/C#* B/D* D/A* G/F#*
The D/A (not sure what the real name for this chord is) is really
implied by the notes played (see the picking below). If you dont
play the picking sections you can just play a strait D/A like in
the chorus (*).
Picking:
Most of the picking particularly in the verses however
is just playing the chords kind of semi arpeggio by making sure
to hit the high e,b and or g strings on the up stroke after
strumming the chord - listen along to get the idea.
The most important 'voiced' notes in the
intro and verses are on the D/A type chord (4th chord) which is always
picked. The variations for the picked notes on this chord are as
follows - I will add the variation number after the chord below
to denote which fill is being played (approx).
Obviously these are all in the same measure so you will have to
adjust your timing to fit the different fills in.
In the Chorus it is important to sound all the bass notes of the chords:
Starts like:
Dsus2 Em7 etc...
I never knew how much I'd come to love you
I never knew how much I'd come to love you
I had no idea if I'd disappear from fear
Of the greatest gift I almost faded away
I had no idea how much I'd come to need you
I had no idea how much I'd burn If i couldnt see you
I had no idea if I'd disappear from fear
your the greatest gift who's ever taken to me
PRE CHORUS
But you pierced my heart in June
You laughed and hung the moon
In a while, child
I was wrapped around your fingers
Dsus2 D/C#* B/D*
Chance
What are the chances
That you would look down from the sky
And choose me to be your own
Dsus2 D/C#* B/D*
And Chance
What are the chances e|--0-2------|
G*----------------------------------> G|--0--------|
That you would sacrifice your wings D|--0--------|
To become flesh and bone
For me
Interlude:
Can't believe I called it love before you
to think I even thought I could ignore you
I had no idea if I'd disappear from fear
Those days were cold
And I almost faded away
PRE CHORUS
But you changed the way I breathe
rearranged my dreams
To the world your only one
But to me you are my world
Dsus2 D/C#* B/D*
Chance
What are the chances
That you would look down from the sky
And choose me to be your own
Dsus2 D/C#* B/D*
And Chance
What are the chances
G* (same picking as before)
That you would sacrifice your wings e|--------|
A----------------------------------> G|--2-----|
To become flesh and bone D|--2-----|
For me
Dsus2 D/C#* B/D* D/A* G G/F#* Em7 D/A*
Searching for the things that make us matter
we're all hungry in our needing to be whole
Were all searching for the things that makes us matter
we're all hungry in our needing to be whole
Dsus2 D/C#* B/D*
Chance
What are the chances
That you would look down from the sky
And choose me to be your own
Dsus2 D/C#* B/D*
And Chance
What are the chances
That you would sacrifice your wings
To become flesh and bone
For me
