Elexis Johnson - Chances

Intro 
Em C G D x2 


[Verso 1]

Em 
Everyone asks for multiple chances 
C 
But I only give two 
G 
The first one could be a mistake 
D 
But the second one they mean it 


[Verso 2]
 
Em 
This I've learned the hard way 
C 
see how people move 
G 
They way that they switch up 
D 
When they don't think you're looking 
Em 
Like their apologies are rehearsed 
C 
Instead of sounding real 


[Pré-Refrão]

Am 
Two chances is enogh 
Em 
to see their intentions 
G 
Enough to see if they slipped 
D 
Or if that is who they are 


[Refrão]

C 
not everyone deserves 
G 
multiple chances 
D 
some show their true colors 
Em 
Right away 
C 
Others will stab you in the back 
G 
But a few dont mean it 
D 
and thats what 
Em 
Makes it complicated 


[Verso 3]
 
Am 
Now and then youll find someone 
 Em 
Who messes up 
 G 
But you can tell they didnt 
 D 
 Do it to hurt you 
 Am 
Those rare ones 
 Em 
The ones that learn 
 G 
The ones that take forgiveness 
 D 
As a free pass 
 Am 
To keep hurting you 


[Verso 4]

Em 
But most reveal themselves quickly 
 C 
 With their attitude 
 G 
Their silence 
 D 
 Or the way they treat you 
 Em 
 Thinking youll stay 
 C 
 No matter what 
 G 
 But once you see it 
 D 
 You wont unsee it 


[Ponte]

C 
If you give a mouse a cookie 
 G 
 Hes going to ask for milk 
 D 
 If you give a person more than two chances 
 Em 
 Theyre gonna ask for another 


[Refrão]

C 
Thats how it goes 
 G 
 The more you give, the more they take 
 D 
 Until youre drained 
 Em 
 Wondering why you let it get this far 
 C 
 People get comfortable 
 G 
 With your kindness 
 D 
 Comfortable crossing lines 
 Em 
 You never thought theyd cross 

{Outro} 
C 
Im sticking with the chances I give 
 G 
Not because I dont care 
 D 
 But because I respect myself 
 Em 
 Peace is expensive 
 C 
 And Im done 
 G 
Letting people walk over me 
 D 
 End on Em (let it ring)
