What Are The Chances

intro/chorus of their 1993 hit Ordinary World as well!

For the most part, the whole song appears to follow the chords below.

Verse Chords: F#m-A-C#m-F#m-B
Pre-Chorus Chords: D-E
Chorus Chords: A-E-B-F#m-D

I like to throw in a Bm in place of the B during John Frusciante’s solo during the middle 8 as 
well, although
I’m not sure if that’s because they actually use it or if it just sounds a bit better. The band 
also skips
over the F#m chord in the final line of the first chorus before heading straight to D.


[Verse 1]
F#m       A           C#m           F#m           B
Any other day and you might've gone walking by without a second look
F#m       A        C#m          F#m              B
Any other way, but I'm still mystified. I'm just trying to change my luck
F#m             A         C#m         F#m          B                         D
Staring out the world and waiting for the one. But the world won't look away
                      E
The world does not explain


[Chorus 1]
A E                B    F#m   D
So what are the chances?
            A   E                  B       F#m   D
We'll never know if we take it for granted
              A    E               B   D
A diamond explodes. What are the chances?

F#m


[Verse 2]
F#m               A          C#m    F#m        B
Playing with your life, or is it destiny which sets you on a path?
F#m          A           C#m         F#m            B                  D
Is it out of choice that you're here next to me, or just the aftermath
   E
Of moments as they pass?


[Chorus 2]
A E                B    F#m   D
So what are the chances?
            A   E                  B      F#m   D
We'll never know if we take it for granted
             A     E               B
A diamond explodes. What are the chances?
F#m    D            A  E                 B       F#m   D
We are lost in the flow and looking for answers, oh...


[Middle 8]
A   E   B   F#m   D

A   E   B   F#m   D

A        E           B         F#m   D
Oh oh oh oh... oh oh oh… oh oh oh
A        E           B         F#m   D
Oh oh oh oh... oh oh oh… oh oh oh


[Chorus 3]
A E                B    F#m   D
So what are the chances?
            A   E                  B      F#m   D
We'll never know if we take it for granted
             A     E               B
A diamond explodes. What are the chances?
F#m    D            A  E                 B       F#m   D
We are lost in the flow and looking for answers, oh...

A   E   B   F#m   D

A   E   B   F#m   D
