  Dm
I felt it The wire
           Gm
touched my neck and
Then someone pulled
    C
it tighter I never
        F
saw it coming
    C              Dm
I started to black out and
                       Gm
Then someone said good morning
                C
I took it as a warning
                       F
I should have seen it coming
    C               Dm
So now I’ll take a chance on
                         Gm
This thing we may have started
                C
Intentional or not I
                       F
Don’t think we saw it coming
          C            Dm
It’s all adding up to something
                    Gm
That asks of some involvement
                    C
That asks for a commitment
                  F
I think I see it coming
        C 
If we step out of that limb

A#             F
My heart beat beats
me senselessly
C
Why’s everything gotta
Dm
be so intense with me
A#
I’m trying to handle all
     F
this unpredictability
C
In all probability

Chorus:
        F
It’s a long shot
            C
but I say why not
Dm
If I say forget it I
know that I’ll regret it
        F
It’s a long shot just
    C
to beat these odds
    Dm
The chance is we
won't make it
       A#
But I know if I don't take
            F
it there's no chance
C
Cause you're the best I
Dm            A#  Dm
got So take a long
shot

I realize that there is all this doubting
Things we're both scared about that
We'll never see 'em coming, throw caution to the wind and
We'll see which way it's blowing into this fully knowing
We'll never see it coming 'til it's much too close to stop

My heartbeat beats me senselessly
Why's everything gotta be so intense with me?
I'm tryna handle all this unpredictability
In all probability

Chorus

     Dm
Oh I waited for
                Gm
fact to come of fiction
                    C
And you fit my description
                 F
I never saw you coming
           C 
But we'll make it

Chorus:
It's a long shot, but I say, "Why not?"
If I say, "Forget it", I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat these odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it,
there's no chance, no chance
'Cause you're the best I got
It's a long shot, but I say, "Why not?"
If I say, "Forget it", I know that I'll regret it
(So take a long shot)
It's a long shot just to beat these odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it
(You didn't expect this)
It's a long shot, but I say, "Why not?"
(Oh, you never saw me coming)
If I say, "Forget it", I know that I'll regret it
(You didn't expect this)
It's a long shot just to beat these odds
(Oh, you never saw me coming)
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it
It's a long shot, but I say, "Why not?"
If I say, "Forget it"
