[Intro]
Yeah
I used to miss every train
Now I’m first in the lane
[Verse 1]
Back then, broke shoes, bent toes
Bad luck on me, everybody knows
Late rent note, small room, thin wall
Big talk died when I made that call
Clocked out, locked in, sick with the grind
Took a whole lot of "not yet" to find
I was the joke in the back of the room
Now I’m the name that fills up the booth
One wrong turn, one more loss
Still came through with the same damn frost
Hands in my pockets, head full of doubt
Till the dead end broke and let me out
[Pre-Chorus]
I was down bad, stuck in the mud
Still kept walking with the same blood
Every close door, every face that laughed
Made a clean line right through my past
[Chorus]
Chances blown, I’m here now
(chances blown) I wear that crown
Chances blown, I’m here now
(chances blown) I got mine now
Used to lose, now I win
Took the hit, came back again
Chances blown, I’m here now
(chances blown) watch me now
[Verse 2]
Used to watch them move like it came too easy
I was off-beat, hungry, restless, sneaky
Borrowed time, borrowed hope, borrowed light
Still I turned that nothing into night
Made my scars do work for me
Made my shame my currency
Every "no" was a brick in the wall
Every fall made me stand up taller
Now the phone rings, now the table turns
Now the old school keeps my numbers burned
I don't brag, I just show the proof
From the last-seat bench to the front-row truth
[Bridge]
Tell me who got up from the floor?
Me
Tell me who wanted more and more?
Me
No silver spoon, no lucky star
Just a mile of wrong turns, then a real one start
[Chorus]
Chances blown, I’m here now
(chances blown) I wear that crown
Chances blown, I’m here now
(chances blown) I got mine now
Used to lose, now I win
Took the hit, came back again
Chances blown, I’m here now
(chances blown) watch me now
[Outro]
I was the burn, now I’m the flame
Same old face, new kind of name
Chances blown
(chances blown)
Now I’m home
