Make Good Choices Sean Nelson
Intro/Verse:
[G] [Bm] [Em] [Am] [C]
I promise [G]everything's alright, it's just I think of you some[Bm]times
I like to [Em]stay up after midnight and listen for the chimes
We used to [Am]hear...so loud and [C]clear
But I [D]haven't heard that [D#]song in years
Chorus:
[Em] A wise old [D]man was once heard to [Am]say
"The things that always cause us the most pain
[Em] Are those from [D]which we are always
The [Am]least prepared to walk away
That's [C]probably why I [D]had you on the [Em]brain.
Verse 2:
When I [G]learned I couldn't count on you when I was my most [Bm]desperate
When [Em]nothing that you said was true, and breaking down my es-
p-rit des [Am]corps (...) was your most beloved [C]chore
Still I couldn't close the iron door
I [G]saved a little face; it was a fool's [Bm]economy
It [Em]ended in disgrace, screaming "get the hell away from me"
I [Am]put you in your place. I knew you wouldn't stay there
But you [C]had such vulgar taste, you even [D]had the gall to [D#]ask for car fare
Chorus 2:
[Em] I thought of [D]calling you up yesterda[Am]y,
And then I came rushing back to my good senses
[Em] It was all [D]I could do just to obey:
[Am] I started hearing voices [C]warning me to [D]make good choices[Em]
Solo break (if you keep it at all, which if you're playing by yourself, I wouldn't)/Verse 3:
[G] [Bm] [Em] [Am] [C]
I [G]saw your shadow play and thought "What kind of [Bm]farce is this?"
But [Em]what I said was "a dying breed." Your smile was disarming
'Cause [Am]nothing is more charming than a narcissist with whom you've just ag[C]reed
Make good [D]choices, thank you [D#]very much in[Em]deed
Chorus 3:
[Em] I used to [D]dream of you nightly; I would [Am]wake up screaming
[Em] I'll try to [D]put it politely: when [Am]you're not near my heart rejoices. Don't come near me, make good choices.
[Em] Your face was [D]perfectly straight; you said that, "[Am]Basically,
Most [Em]people hate their friends," and [D]I say it depends- I have so [Am]much, so much I want to tell you,
[C] And [D]nowhere to be[Em]gin.
