Intro -x2-: C  G  Em7  D 
 

          F#    
Struck by lightning,
                     C#
Sounds pretty frightening,
                     A#m7         G#
But you know the chances are so small.
           F#    
Stuck by a bee sting,
                  C#
Nothing but a bee thing,
                           A#m7            G#
Better chance you're gonna buy it at the mall.
           F#                       
But it's a twenty-three or four-to-one,
     C#                    A#m7                G#
That you can fall in love by the end of this song.
   F#    
So get up, get up,
                C#
Tell the bookie "put a bet on",
           A#m7           G#
Not a damn thing will go wrong.
 

    F#             C#            A#m7
The odds are that we will probably be,
G#
Alright,
F#                    C#
Odds are we gonna be alright,
     A#m7               G#
Odds are we gonna be alright tonight,
    F#             C#            A#m7
The odds are that we will probably be,
G#
Alright,

Odds are we gonna be alright for another night.
 

          F#    
Hit by the a-train,
                     C#
Crashed in an airplane,
                     A#m7         G#
I wouldn't recommend either one,
           F#    
Killed by a great white,
                     C#
Or a meteorite,
                     A#m7         G#
I guess there ain't no way to go that's fun,
           F#                       
But somewhere in the world,
     C#                    A#m7                G#
Someone is gonna fall in love by the end of this song.
           F#                       
So get up, get up,
                C#
No, it's never gonna let up,
           A#m7           G#
So you might as well sing along.

F#       C#         A#m7
 Sure things go wrong,

But I'll take my chances,
