Bullfrog Jones Lyr Req: chances are (7) Lyr Add: CHANCES ARE (Bob Seger) 22 Feb 03


'Chances Are' is a duet between Bob Seger and Martina McBride, written by Bob Seger. You may also have heard Robert Downey Jnr singing it in Ally McBeal. The other song you quote from is 'To Make You Feel my Love' which appears in two versions on the soundtrack album, by Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. It's written by some bloke called Bob Dylan. I love the soundtrack, but I've never seen the film --- the C.D. is a relic from my days as a radio producer when I used to get them for free!
Here are the chords and lyrics:

CHANCES ARE

Verse 1:
Bb                Gm

For the night, for the night

TO MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE

(Verse)

Ab -> Db                      Ab/C
        When the rain is blowing in your face
       Db7/Cb                       Gb/Bb
        And the whole world is on your case
        Gbmi/Bbb            Db/Ab
        I could offer you a warm embrace
        Eb9/Bb            Gb/Ab   Db
        To make you feel my love

(Verse)
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

(Bridge)

        Gb                            Db
        I know you haven't made your mind up yet
        Eb9/Bb            Gb                 Db
        But I would never do you wrong
        Gb                              Db
        I've known it from the moment that we met
        Eb7                              Ab
        No doubt in my mind where you belong

(Verse)
I'd go hungry I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

(instrumental)

(Bridge)
The storms are raging on the open seas
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

(Verse)
I could make you happy make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love
