Intro
(Same as verses)

Verse 1
E                        A
Life seems so unfair,
   E                                               B          A6add9/B  
a momentary flash time deems to spare.

Verse 2
B           E                          A
For be it love nor great despair,
               E                                                  B       A6add9/B      B
keeps the wolves at bay once fate is in the air.

Bridge 1
    E                                       
A careless twist of irony,
C#madd9                   C#m                                         
disturbs my mind at times of play,
       F#m7                C#m7   B          A6add9/B 
and often takes my breath away.

Pre-Chorus 1
 B                     E                  
When I realize, one of us must carry on,
                C#madd9     C#m
while the other one is dead and gone,
F#m7                         C#m7         B         A6add9/B      
and I anguish is this fraught reason...
B                E
Could it be me that’s forced to linger here,
     C#madd9           C#m
or will I blaze the path we’ll share,
      F#m7      C#m7  B     A6add9/B      
till reunited once again. See...

Chorus
B      Eadd9              E7                      Aadd9                 E           A6add9/B
Love demands a sacrifice, yet worries not who pays the price.
B                     Eadd9               E7                   Aadd9                 E       A6add9/B    
Love takes it’s tithe, in it’s own time, and tolerates scant compromise.
B             C#m                  F#m7                          A            B          A6add9/B                               
But in the end love offers recompense, for this fated misery.
B             C#m                   F#m7    A    B    E        A        B      C#m       B
By giving us the chance to reunite for eternity.

Verse 3
So now I’m prone to contemplate,
which path I’d choose if I could wrestle choice from fate.

Verse 4
Should I move on to give you time,
or would that be a cruel and tragic gift of life?

Bridge 2
There no relief or remedy,
at least as far as I can see,
and folly to presume reprieve. 
 
Pre_Chorus
Cause fate’s a cold and calculating fiend, 
when tasked with destined mortal themes,
so, it’s pointless to conspire or scheme.  

Thus, I’ll accept this grim reality,
stay focus on eternity, 
and put my faith in destiny.   Cause...

Repeat Chorus

Hobson's Choice

Songwriter looking for others to collaborate with.  I'm 50ish, married to the most wonderful woman in the world, and just enjoy making original music. I live in Fort Worth have been luck enough to work with some exceptional musicians.  I am not looking "to make the big time", just looking to have fun and learn as much as I can about songwriting and home recording.  I take this seriously, just not professionally. I have a day job! :)
