C#m        E
I want to live
           A
I want to leave
          B            C#m
I want to open up and breathe
           E
I want to go
           A
I want to be
           B              C#m
I want to feel it constantly
        E
Gotta show
       A
Gotta say
            B                      C#m
I've gotta feeling that won't go away
             E
I've gotta know
             A
If they go away
         B
My opportunities

Chorus:
C#m  A     E             B
Just one chance is all I ever wanted
C#m  A   F#                E       B
Just one time I'd like to win the game
    C#m  A        E                 B          D
From now on I'll take the chance if I can have it
D    A    E   C#m
Just one Just one

I need to think, I need to feed
I need to see if I still bleed
I need a place, I need a time
Cause I need to step outside that line
Gonna give, gonna take
I'm gonna scream till I am awake
I'm gonna push, I'm gonna pull, open up the door

Chorus:
C#m  A     E             B
Just one chance is all I ever wanted
C#m  A   F#                E       B
Just one time I'd like to win the game
    C#m  A        E                 B          D
From now on I'll take the chance if I can have it
D    A    E   F# G A C#m
Just one Just one

A      G#       B               C#m
And if I knew when the door was open
          A
I'd go through
         B      C#m
I would go on through
A      G#       B            C#m
And I can say when I do I'll never be the same
A      B      C#m E
Never be the same

Chorus:
C#m  A     E             B
Just one chance is all I ever wanted
C#m  A   F#                E       B
Just one time I'd like to win the game
    C#m  A        E                 B          D
From now on I'll take the chance if I can have it
D    A   E
Just one
C#m  A     E             B
Just one chance is all I ever wanted
C#m  A   F#                E       B
Just one time I'd like to win the game
    C#m  A        E                 B          D
From now on I'll take the chance if I can have it
D    A    E    C#m
Just one Just one
