Sean Nelson - Make Good Choices Chords

Intro/Verse:

G Bm Em Am C


          G                                                  Bm
I promise everything's alright, it's just I think of you sometimes

          Em
I like to stay up after midnight and listen for the chimes

           Am                 C
We used to hear...so loud and clear

      D                  D#
But I haven't heard that song in years


Chorus:

Em             D                     Am
    A wise old man was once heard to say

 
"The things that always cause us the most pain

Em                D
   Are those from which we are always

    Am
The least prepared to walk away

       C              D              Em
That's probably why I had you on the brain.


Verse 2:

       G                                                  Bm
When I learned I couldn't count on you when I was my most desperate

     Em
When nothing that you said was true, and breaking down my es-

          Am                                C
p-rit des corps (...) was your most beloved chore


Still I couldn't close the iron door

  G                                    Bm
I saved a little face; it was a fool's economy

   Em
It ended in disgrace, screaming "get the hell away from me"

  Am
I put you in your place. I knew you wouldn't stay there

        C                               D               D#
But you had such vulgar taste, you even had the gall to ask for car fare


Chorus 2:

Em              D                      Am
   I thought of calling you up yesterday,


And then I came rushing back to my good senses

Em            D
   It was all I could do just to obey:

Am                          C             D                Em
   I started hearing voices warning me to make good choices


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

  G                                              Bm
I saw your shadow play and thought "What kind of farce is this?"

    Em
But what I said was "a dying breed." Your smile was disarming

       Am                                                                 C
'Cause nothing is more charming than a narcissist with whom you've just agreed

          D                  D#          Em
Make good choices, thank you very much indeed


Chorus 3:

Em            D                             Am
    I used to dream of you nightly; I would wake up screaming

Em             D                     Am
   I'll try to put it politely: when you're not near my heart rejoices. Don't come near me, make good choices.

Em                D                                   Am
    Your face was perfectly straight; you said that, "Basically,

     Em                              D                           Am
Most people hate their friends," and I say it depends- I have so much, so much I want to tell you,

C       D            Em
    And nowhere to begin.
