[Intro]
 
Cadd9  G  Em7  D  x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
 D        Cadd9
Struck by lightning,
                     G
Sounds pretty frightening,
                     Em7         D
But you know the chances are so small.
           Cadd9
Stuck by a bee sting,
                  G
Nothing but a bee thing,
                           Em7            D
Better chance you're gonna buy it at the mall.
           Cadd9
But it's a twenty-three or four-to-one,
     G                    Em7                D
That you can fall in love by the end of this song.
   Cadd9
So get up, get up,
                G
Tell the bookie "put a bet on",
           Em7           D
Not a damn thing will go wrong.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    Cadd9         G            Em7
The odds are that we will probably be,
D
Alright,
Cadd9                G
Odds are we gonna be alright,
     Em7               D
Odds are we gonna be alright tonight,
    Cadd9         G            Em7
The odds are that we will probably be,
D
Alright,
Cadd9                G
Odds are we gonna be alright,
     Em7              D                         Cadd9
Odds are we gonna be alright for another night.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
 D        Cadd9
Hit by the A-train,
                     G
Crashed in an airplane,
                     Em7         D
I wouldn't recommend either one,
           Cadd9
Killed by a great white,
                  G
Or a meteorite,
                           Em7            D
I guess there ain't no way to go that's fun,
           Cadd9
But somewhere in the world,
     G                    Em7                D
Someone is gonna fall in love by the end of this song.
   Cadd9
So get up, get up,
                G
No, it's never gonna let up,
           Em7           D
So you might as well sing along.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    Cadd9         G            Em7
The odds are that we will probably be,
D
Alright,
Cadd9                G
Odds are we gonna be alright,
     Em7               D
Odds are we gonna be alright tonight,
    Cadd9         G            Em7
The odds are that we will probably be,
D
Alright,
Cadd9                G
Odds are we gonna be alright,
     Em7              D                         Cadd9
Odds are we gonna be alright for another night.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Am7   G/B         C
 Sure things go wrong,
    D              Am7
But I'll take my chances,
 G/B       C
Odds are long,
   D       Cadd9  G  Em7  D
So why not plaaaaaaaaaaaay?
