verse 1 

F#m                A     
When you call my name 
D              E 
It's the only truth I'm sure of 
F#m                A 
Like my neck on a chain 
D                      E 
Like some sick game I want some more of 
F#m             A 
It's out of my hands 
D                      E 
When it comes, it's automatic 
F#m                     A 
It's not the love we planned 
D                      E 
But baby bring it on bold and tragic 

Pre-Chorus 
D                E                 G  A 
We're just two tightrope walkers dancing 
D                E                 G 
We're breathless as the moment's passing 


[Refrão]
 
D 
If I'm going down I'm gonna do it right 
A 
I might go blind in the yellow light 
G 
I'm gonna take my chances 
A 
I'm gonna take my chances 
D 
I've been awake in the dead of night 
A 
My heartbeat running at the speed of light 
G 
I'm gonna take my chances 
A 
I'm gonna take my chances 

verse 2 
F#m               A 
If my voice goes cold 
D                     E 
If my hands fall and be lifeless 
F#m                   A 
Cough the silver and gold 
D                     E      F#m A  
I will crawl out of the quiet 
D                E           F#m A 
I will crawl out of the quiet 
D                E 
I will crawl out of the quiet

Bridge 
B 
Here I go again, my friend 
D 
Trying to get back up again 
G 
All of the lights of the city are blinding 
A 
Living, not grinding 

B 
I never thought I could be so damn reckless 
D 
I only hoped that I could do my best if 
G 
I got out on my own 
A 
And I never let go 

G 
It's like I'm standing in an execution 
A 
I feel the pressure but no solution 
G 
I'm gonna take my chances 
A 
Don't let me burn to ashes
