Intro G--/D--/C--/D--/ x2

     G            D           C         D
The wolf at the door he came knocking again
     G          D         C      C G 
He told me that I was no good
    Am       D           G        C
He left me bereft of a hopeful concept
    C             D          G
He lapped up the pieces and ran

     G            D            C           D
A friend he once said I've turned into my dad
    G           D           C      C G 
I found such a comfortable spot
     Am            D           G          C
The dreams I once had are all faded and black
     C        D               G
He said his goodbyes and was gone

    D       G         C
If God did give me a choice
         Am
I would take it
         D
I would take it
    D       G         C
If God did give me a choice
         Am
I would take it
         D
I would take it

The years they have passed with such sickening speed
The goalposts moved time and again
Suppressing defeat, reinventing belief
A casualty fit to move on

The altruist motive so badly conceived
So lacking that cold ruthless streak
To get on in life you must fight to survive
To be heard you have to be seen

If God did give me a choice
I would take it
I would take it
If God did give me choice
I would take it
I would take it

If God did give us a choice
We would take it
We would take it
If God did give us a choice
We would take it
We would take it

If God did give us a choice
We would take it
We would take it
If God did give us a choice
We would take it
We would take it

If God did give us a choice
We would take it
We would take it
If God did give us a choice
We would take it
We would take it
