That Choice

Intro 

Bm 
Em           N.C. 
Eh eh ehmmm- kay 



Bm 
Just dropped in from the daydream 
Em 
You know I always gotta cause a big scene 
Bm 
Gotta make everything about me 
Em 
I've been like this since I was like thirteen 
Bm 
So let me bend your ears while I've got them 
Em 
What is it you're really trying to run from 
Bm 
I guess that's the thing about problems 
Em 
While you ignore them, then you ain't got none 



C                    Bm 
Oh, what a wonderful way to live 
Em                   F#m 
Cold, magnifying the things I did 
  G                Bm 
I know something's got to give 
  C                    F# 
I wait for the veil to lift 



    Bm 
And oh 
                               Em 
I'm feeling that choice in the way 
                            Bm 
I'm feeding that void every day 
                               Em 
I'm screaming your voice in my brain 
Em   N.C. 
It's more than I can take 
    Bm 
And oh 
                               Em 
I'm feeling that choice in the way 
                        Bm 
A little blockade in my brain 
                      G 
Whatever comes next I pray 
G 
It isn't more than I can take, yeah 



N.C. 
Always late to the party 
Em 
So everybody might look upon me 
Bm 
Show them something better than I might be 
Em                                                    Bm 
Force feed a narrative, sell them what they wanna see 
N.C.  Bm 
Wait, maybe that's the way I put the walls up 
Em 
No one ever gets to get a close up 
Bm 
That's the way illusions get bust up 
Em 
Life's been a breeze so long as I've kept the front up 



C                      Bm 
Hey, don't make me reflect on things 
 Em                   F#m 
Avoiding it all is an easy win 
   G                      Bm 
No way can the loneliness settle in 
        C                       F# 
It's my choice to pretend to be king 



    Bm 
And oh 
                               Em 
I'm feeling that choice in the way 
                            Bm 
I'm feeding that void every day 
                               Em 
I'm screaming your voice in my brain 
Em 
It's more than I can take 
    Bm 
And oh 
                               Em 
I'm feeling that choice in the way 
                        Bm 
A little blockade in my brain 
                      G 
Whatever comes next I pray 
G 
It isn't more than I can take, yeah

Bm 
The person inside underwhelms me 
Em 
So I pretend I'm something else entirely 
Bm 
A person who's better than me at everything 
Em 
Rather you know that guy instead of me 
Bm 
It's funny how it took so long to realise 
Em 
I thought I was alone at trying to live lies 
Bm 
Maybe everyone's a person being hid behind 
Em 
Would we all be so alone if we empathised 


Interlude 

C                   Bm 
Whoa, a depressing epiphany 
  Em                     F#m 
I know you so far as you let me see 
      G                         Bm 
We're both different people way underneath 
     C                         F# 
What happens when those people meet 



        Bm 
I don't know 
                               Em 
I'm feeling that choice in the way 
                            Bm 
I'm feeding that void every day 
                               Em 
I'm screaming your voice in my brain 
Em 
It's more than I can take 
    Bm 
And oh 
                               Em 
I'm feeling that choice in the way 
                        Bm 
A little blockade in my brain 
                      G 
Whatever comes next I pray 
N.C. 
It isn't more than I can take, yeah 


Drop 

Bm   Em
