No Choice in the Matter
INTRO: G Am B C C# D G D
G
We'll say a friend of mine
Am B C
A fellow I know real well
D
Came to me on Friday
G D
He had a story to tell
G
I've heard it a thousand times
Am B C C#
This one hit close to home
D
'Cause the woman who left him
G D
I've taken for my own
CHORUS:
G
Love leaves you no choice in the matter
Am
There ain't a damn thing sadder
D G D
Than a man in the throws of somethin' real
G
A woman who lays down beside you
Am
She can't help or hide you
D G D
It don't matter how she wants to feel
So I bought him a round or two
Gave him a talkin' to
Said boy you can't let yourself
Get so far
But you can't tell a man a thing
He's pickin' out diamond rings
When you yourself
Don't know who you are
CHORUS
D#
BRIDGE:
Em Bm
My hands, they used to be a young man's hands
Em Bm
But I worked them to the bone for one woman
Em Bm
When she'd even find the time to get to know another man
Am D
Leave me alone, he said leave me alone
SOLO (verse chords)
CHORUS (end on Em)
G D# G D G
Oh, it don't matter how she wants to feel
