I love that song.
I mean, it's just a [C] simple song with my love for horses.
I [F] think on a larger scale it deals with the odds [Am] that we all have to face in life, and
I think that's [Bb] the success of the song.
Probably the [C] line, [E] the chance of a [F] lifetime and a lifetime of chance.
[Am] Because we all have those moments, you know, [Bb] that you either grab them and you take them
advantage [F] of and you move on, or perhaps [Dm] regret that you didn't the rest of your life.

[F] The desire, the [Am] desire, [Bb] it's born [C] in the blood.
