[Intro]
Am F
 
[Verse 1]
Am       E/Ab      A/G           A7
  You remind me I live in a shell,
              Dm                Dm/C
Safe from the past, and doin' okay,
             F/G G9 F/G G9
But not very well.
C                G/B
 No jolts, no surprises,
Gm/Bb                A7sus
     No crisis arises,
    A7          Dm
My life goes along as it should,
     Dm/C               Dm/B        Dm/E
It's all very nice, but not very good.
 
[Chorus]
    E7-9  Am7               Dm7
And I'm   ready to take a chance again,
F/G       G/F      C/E        Am/E  E7/Ab Am  Am/G
Ready to put my love on the line    with  you.
     F#7-5                  Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7  Em7
Been living with nothing to show  for it.
    Dm7                       F/G     G/F
You get what you get when you go for it.
        C/E             Fmaj7             E/Ab
And I'm ready to take a chance again with you.
 
[Verse 2]
Am          E/Ab       A/G           A7
   When she left me in all my despair,
            Dm
I just held on.
                 Dm/C       Dm/B            Dm/E
My hopes were all gone, then I found you there.
 
[Chorus]
    E7-9  Am7               Dm7
And I'm   ready to take a chance again,
F/G       G/F      C/E        Am/E  E7/Ab Am  Am/G
Ready to put my love on the line    with  you.
     F#7-5                  Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7  Em7
Been living with nothing to show  for it.
    Dm7                       F/G     G/F
You get what you get when you go for it.
          Bbm7               Ebm7
And I'm   ready to take a chance again,
F#/Ab    Ab/F#   C#/F        Bbm/F  F7/A  Bbm  Bbm/Ab
Ready to put my love on the line    with  you.
     G7-5                   F#maj7 Fm7 Ebm7  Fm7
Been living with nothing to show   for it.
    Ebm7                      F#/Ab     Ab/F#
You get what you get when you go for it.
        C#/F            F#maj7
And I'm ready to take a chance again,
Gm7-5           C#/Ab             F/A
Ready to take a chance again with you,
      Bbm7  Ebm7  F#/Ab Ab/F# C#/F
With you.                 (fade out)
