[Intro] 
Dm--Gm--C--F-C/E
 
 
[Verse 1]
  Dm
I felt it The wire
           Gm
touched my neck and
Then someone pulled
   C[
it tighter I never
       F
saw it coming
   C/E             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/E             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/E          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/E
If we step out of that limb
 
 
[Refrain]
Bb              F
  My heart beat beats
me senselessly
C
  Why’s everything gotta 
Dm
be so intense with me
Bb
  I’m trying to handle all
     F
this unpredictability
C
  In all probability
 
 
[Chorus 1]
       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
      Bb
But I know if I don't take
           F
it there's no chance
C
  Cause you're the best I
Dm            Bb  Dm(hold)
got So take a long        shot
 
 
[Verse 2]
  Dm
I realize that there
            Gm
is all this doubting
                          C
Things we're both scared about
                          F
that We’ll never see them coming
      C/E            Dm
Throw caution to the wind and
                         Gm
We’ll see which way it's blowing
                  C
And to this fully knowing
                   F
We’ll never see it coming
         C/E
Til it's much too close to stop
 
 
(Repeat Refrain)
 
 
[Chorus 2]
       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
      Bb
But I know if I don't take
           F

[Verse 3]
     Dm
Oh I waited for
                Gm
fact to come of fiction
                  C
And you fit my description
                F
I never saw you coming
          C/E
