A        D    A
I am the dice man

Do you take a chance, huh?

Do all these musicians
A             D   A
Have a social conscience?
      A             D     A        A    D  A
Well, only in their front rooms

Do you take a chance, fan?

     A                D  A
They say music should be fun
     A               D         A
Like reading a story of love
    A       D      A     (A)
But I wanna read a horror story

Do you take a chance, baby?
