I've done that.  My only black eye injury while riding. (Knock on desk).

Absolutely FIX YOUR CHAIN LINE.  This is a major reason why chains fail.  Unfortunately, with the switch to cassette hub drivers, a lot of BMX chainlines suck--some frames with wide-set chainstays require you space your sprocket out, but the hub has the rear cog very close in.  Since I got a road bike and mtb, I've been paying more attention to chain line.
