Refrein:
         D                  G              D
I've had choices, since the day that I was born
                        Bm                 A
There were voices, that told me right from wrong
         D           G     
If I had listened, I wouldnt be here today 
D                          A         D
Living and dying, with the choices I made


Verse:
      A              G           D
I was tempted, by an early age I found 
       A                  G               D
I like drinking, oh and I never turned it down 
                             G
there were loved ones, but I turned them all away 
D                         A         D
living and dying with the choices I made


Refrein:
I've had choices, since the day that I was born
There were voices, that told me right from wrong
If I had listened, I wouldnt be here today 
Living and dying, with the choices I made


Solo: D | G | D | A D


Verse:
            A               G                  D
I guess I'm paying, for the things that I have done
           A           G              D
If I could go back, oh lord knows I'd run
                           G
but I'm still losing, this game of life I play
D                         A         D
living and dying with the choices I made


Refrein:
I've had choices, since the day that I was born
There were voices, that told me right from wrong
If I had listened, I wouldnt be here today 
Living and dying, with the choices I made

Outro: D | G 
D                          A               D
Living and dying, with the choices I made

How to practise this song

  1. 1

    Practise the barre chord B

    B is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

    Open
  2. 2

    Practise the change: B ↔ A

    Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

    Open
  3. 3

    Great first song

    Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
