Chances Are

Words & Music by Al Stillman & Robert Allen
Recorded by Johnny Mathis, 1957 (#1)



 A7+5    D6 A7+5           D6          Bm7-5
Chances are,     'cause I wear a silly grin

     A        C#m7-5     F#   F#7
The moment you come into view,

     Bm7          B7       E7     Bm7-5      A   F7  A7+5
Chances are you think that I 'm in love with you.


A7+5    D6  A7+5      D6              Bm7-5
Just because    my composure sort of slips

     A        C#m7-5           F#  F#7
The moment that your lips meet mine,
   Bm7          B7       E7          Bm7-5 E7-9   A   D9  A
Chances are you think my heart's your val - en - tine.


Bridge:

       AM7       Dm
In the magic of moonlight,

       Dm6             Am
When I sigh, "Hold me close, Dear,"

                  F#m7
Chances are you believe the stars

      B7                F      E  
That fill the skies are in my eyes.


 A7       A7+5         A7     D6      A7+5
Guess you feel you 'll always be

            D           Bm7-5
The one and only one for me,

    A                C#m7-5   F#7   F#m7
And if you think you could,

      Bm      Bm7       Cdim    E  Bm7-5     A    F    A
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good.


(Last time)

       Bm     Bm7      Cdim     E  Bm7-5  C#m7-5   C#7  F#7
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good,

        Bm    Bm7      Cdim     E Bm7-5     A    F   Fdim   A
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good.
