The Odds

• G#

Intro: G# 

G# 
A man of great ambition he pushed himself to 
                                                C# 
A man upon a mission with great riches to achieve 

All his friends admired him 
                                    G# 
And every word they trusted and believed 
         F#       C#                 G# 
And the odds seem forever in his favour 
                                   C#     G# 
He made a sound investment in his own abilities 
                                  C#     G# 
A healthy clientele and some committed employees 
C#                                                       G# 
Well regarded in the town, money to be made, and cash be found 
         F#       C#                 G# 
And the odds seem forever in his favour 

C#                                 G# 
Sooner or later the man is bound to fall 
 C# 
Won't find 
           F#                         G# 
Sooner or later empires are bound to fall 
      F#         C#               G# 
The wind blows forever without waver 

        F#      C#          G# 
(some unintelligible speech)  
        F#              C# 
But the odds were not endeavored 
               G# 
Forever in your favour 

    G# 
He bought a grander house on a more expensive street 
                                    C#       G# 
Quite a price to pay for a place to rest his feet 
C#                                                  G# 
Felt the water rise before he knew it wasn't all ... 

          F#                C#           G# 
Still he thought he had the odds in his favour 

We hate to disappoint you, the banker didn't knew 

The string of repossessions, his wife's expensive heels 
     C#                                                        G# 
But sitting down upon the kerb he felt a certain feeling of relief 
        F#                C#               G# 
And he knew the odds were far from in his favour 

C#                                   G# 
Sooner or later the man is bound to fall 
C# 
Won't find (ma 
F#               C#                   G# 
Sooner or later it's the end of the road 
         F#              C#               G# 
Does the wind don't blow forever without waver 

      F#      C#          G# 
(some unintelligible speech)  
    F#                    C# 
But the odds were not endeavored 
                G# 
Forever in your favour 

G# 
You're expensive pockets are empty and you're feeling insecure 
                                                      C# 
I think you may resent it, and in fact, I'm pretty sure 
         
Is being wealthy really all that far from being poor 
        G# 
I'm not so sure 
        F#            C#                G# 
And the odds are not forever in your favour
