Ten Chances

I only had one minute

Left on my calling card

I was halfway around the world

And it was raining, really hard

I only had a couple of aspirin

And a half a can of beer

So I swallowed it down for courage

But it was still pretty hard to hear

'Cause I only had three words

That I wanted to tell you

But it would be easier if you were here

And I could smell ya

Words are fallin' out, I know

They drift, they pass, they melt like snow

And I know I may be a flake

I scrape my knees and make mistakes

I may lose but mostly win

Sometimes I get soaked in sin

But I fall right back into your arms again

So I ordered four pints of Guinness

And I set 'em on a trunk

Had a long conversation

With a hopeless drunk

'Cause I only had five tickets

And six new friends

And one of 'em had a hissy fit

And drove off with Mercedes Benz

Words are fallin' out, I know

They drift, they pass, they melt like snow

I know I may be a flake

I scrape my knees and make mistakes

I may lose but mostly win

Sometimes I get soaked in sin

But I fall right back into your arms again

So we played seven-card stud

And I had a royal flush

And I took out your picture and I started to blush

'Cause I only had eight lives

Most cats got nine

So I skipped out on bungee jumping, just this time

'Cause I only had ten chances to say I love you

Words are fallin' out, I know

They drift, they pass, they melt like snow

I know I may be a flake

I scrape my knees and make mistakes

I may lose but mostly win

Sometimes I get drenched in sin

But I fall right back into your arms again

I collapse into your loving arms again

I fall right back into your arms again
