There's my gran**a's old Gibson
And a girl of no importance
A shot of whiskey sitting on the bar

Yeah, 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
And what the good book says

If I'm going anywhere, I'll probably go too far
And probably away from you
Chances are, chances are

There's a lonely corner waiting
Two sets left for playing
Then I'll tell her everything she wants to hear

Well, I'm not the worst at love that's making
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
And what the good book says

If I'm going anywhere, I'll probably go too far
And probably away from you
Chances are, chances are

Hold me like I mean it
I'll say 'til you believe it
And we'll see if we can fill an empty heart
Well, 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
And what the good book says

If I'm going anywhere I'll probably go too far
And probably away from you
Chances are, chances are
