[Intro]
Cadd9 G Em7 D x2
[Verse 1]
D Cadd9
Struck by lightning,
G
Sounds pretty frightening,
Em7 D
But you know the chances are so small.
Cadd9
Stuck by a bee sting,
G
Nothing but a bee thing,
Em7 D
Better chance you're gonna buy it at the mall.
Cadd9
But it's a twenty-three or four-to-one,
G Em7 D
That you can fall in love by the end of this song.
Cadd9
So get up, get up,
G
Tell the bookie "put a bet on",
Em7 D
Not a damn thing will go wrong.
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Em7
The odds are that we will probably be,
D
Alright,
Cadd9 G
Odds are we gonna be alright,
Em7 D
Odds are we gonna be alright tonight,
Cadd9 G Em7
The odds are that we will probably be,
D
Alright,
Cadd9 G
Odds are we gonna be alright,
Em7 D Cadd9
Odds are we gonna be alright for another night.
[Verse 2]
D Cadd9
Hit by the A-train,
G
Crashed in an airplane,
Em7 D
I wouldn't recommend either one,
Cadd9
Killed by a great white,
G
Or a meteorite,
Em7 D
I guess there ain't no way to go that's fun,
Cadd9
But somewhere in the world,
G Em7 D
Someone is gonna fall in love by the end of this song.
Cadd9
So get up, get up,
G
No, it's never gonna let up,
Em7 D
So you might as well sing along.
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Em7
The odds are that we will probably be,
D
Alright,
Cadd9 G
Odds are we gonna be alright,
Em7 D
Odds are we gonna be alright tonight,
Cadd9 G Em7
The odds are that we will probably be,
D
Alright,
Cadd9 G
Odds are we gonna be alright,
Em7 D Cadd9
Odds are we gonna be alright for another night.
[Bridge]
Am7 G/B C
Sure things go wrong,
D Am7
But I'll take my chances,
G/B C
Odds are long,
D Cadd9 G Em7 D
So why not plaaaaaaaaaaaay?
