G Bm
He's gone, you've lost
F Am
Stay behind and count the cost
G F
You try, you lose
Bbmaj7 Am
You don't fall in love by chance
| G | Bm | F | Am |
You choose
G Bm
It's a decision made over time
F Am
Should you take a risk and start to climb
G F
The steepest hill only to find
Bbmaj7 Am
Halfway there you've been left behind?
C Bm
Choosing to love is risking a lot
Dm Em
And trying to change and to give all you've got
Dm Em Dm Em
But don't pretend it comes out of the blue
C Bm
You take a chance and see it through
Dm Em
And if it's refused what can you do?
Dm Em Dm Em
Continue hopefully? Start anew?
G Bm
Lick your wounds, buy your booze
F Am
You won't get drunk by accident, you'll choose
G F
Don't blame him for refusing your bid
Bbmaj7 Am
He didn't decide to love
| G | Bm | F | Am |
You did
G Bm
Learn the lesson, take the blows
F Am
You didn't fall in love by chance, you chose
G F
Play the sad songs, sing the blues
Bbmaj7 Am
You don't fall in love by chance
| G | Bm | F | Am |
You choose
| G | Bm | F | Am |
| G | Cmaj | G | Cmaj | G
