[Intro]
F C F C
[Verse 1]
C F C
She was a Bible Belt lovin believer
F C
With a twelve year ring on her hand
Dm7 F
Got a little too close to the fire
C G
And started burning for another man
C F C
One thing led to another
F C
At a motel in Galveston Bay
Dm7 F
They didn't know it at the time
C F
But more than just love was made
C Dm7
That's one hell of a choice to make
[Chorus]
C
If it went the other way nobody woulda blamed her
Em
Think of all the small town talk it could have saved her
Am7
She could have chosen one quick fix
F
To get her out of one big mess
C
She could have tied a different ribbon to the ending of the story
Em Am7
Could have kept her secret, gotten out before it changed her life
F
She could have changed her mind and changed everything
C F C F
But she chose me
[Verse 2]
C F C
She didn't quite know how to tell him
F C
You try to speak a truth like that
Dm7 F
She didn't know where to turn to
C G
But she knew a way to take it back
C F C
She had it written into her schedule
F C
Like just another thing to do
Dm7 F
But that box never got checked off
C F
And I'm sitting her living proof
[Chorus]
C
If it went the other way nobody woulda blamed her
Em
Think of all the small town talk it could have saved her
Am7
She could have chosen one quick fix
F
To get her out of one big mess
C
She could have tied a different ribbon to the ending of the story
Em Am7
Could have kept her secret, gotten out before it changed her life
F
She could have changed her mind and changed everything
C F C
But she chose me
F Am7 Am7 F F
But she chose me-e, yeah
[Bridge]
F C
Neither daughter, neither sister
Dm7 G
Neither dreamer with pigtails and pictures
F C
Neither wife, my husband loves
Dm7
I'm just thankful because
[Chorus]
G C
If it went the other way nobody woulda blamed her
Em
Think of all the small town talk it could have saved her
Am7
She could have chosen one quick fix
F
To get her out of one big mess
C
She could have tied a different ribbon to the ending of the story
Em Am7
Could have kept her secret, gotten out before it changed her life
F
She could have changed her mind and changed everything
C F C
But she chose me
F C
She chose me
