C#m			      A
If you were a cowboy i would trail you,
C#m                              A               E
if you were a piece of wood i'd nail you to the floor,
F#m                             B               E
if you were a sailboat i would sail you to the shore,


C#m                          A
if you were a river i would swim you,
C#m                          A                  E
if you were a house i would live in you all my days,
F#m                         B                  E
if you were a preacher i'd begin to change my ways,


C#m                     A
sometimes i believe in fate
                    B
but the chances we create,
                          A
always seem to ring more true,
F#m                         B
you took a chance on loving me,
                           E
i took a chance on loving you


C#m                             A
if i was in jail i know you'd spring me,
C#m                            A             E
if i were a telephone you'd ring me all day long,
F#m                            B                E
if i was in pain i know you'd sing me soothing songs,


C#m                     A
sometimes i believe in fate
                    B
but the chances we create,
                          A
always seem to ring more true,
F#m                         B
you took a chance on loving me,
                           E
i took a chance on loving you


C#m                        A
if i was hungry you would feed me,
C#m                             A              E
if i was in darkness you would lead me to the light,
F#m                           B              E
if i was a book i know you'd read me every night,


C#m			      A
If you were a cowboy i would trail you,
C#m                              A               E
if you were a piece of wood i'd nail you to the floor,
F#m                             B               E
if you were a sailboat i would sail you to the shore,
