Make Good Choices
this is mostly just what the bass is doing, it works just fine as chords to play this unplugged-style. the
persistent choppy guitar is mostly just

but i don't know that there's much way to work that in if you're not playing on top of a bassline so i just
left them out. The D# just before the chorus is just a passing tone so you could easily leave it out
completely; if you do play it, rather than barring it to play it properly I just slide up from D for xxx343
and then play the Em of the chorus as xxx453. It's got closer to the right sound anyway.
Intro/Verse:
G Bm Em Am C
G Bm
I promise everything's alright, it's just I think of you sometimes
Em
I like to stay up after midnight and listen for the chimes
Am C
We used to hear...so loud and clear
D D#
But I haven't heard that song in years
Chorus:
Em D Am
A wise old man was once heard to say
"The things that always cause us the most pain
Em D
Are those from which we are always
Am
The least prepared to walk away
C D Em
That's probably why I had you on the brain.
Verse 2:
G Bm
When I learned I couldn't count on you when I was my most desperate
Em
When nothing that you said was true, and breaking down my es-
Am C
p-rit des corps (...) was your most beloved chore
Still I couldn't close the iron door
G Bm
I saved a little face; it was a fool's economy
Em
It ended in disgrace, screaming "get the hell away from me"
Am
I put you in your place. I knew you wouldn't stay there
C D D#
But you had such vulgar taste, you even had the gall to ask for car fare
Chorus 2:
Em D Am
I thought of calling you up yesterday,
And then I came rushing back to my good senses
Em D
It was all I could do just to obey:
Am C D Em
I started hearing voices warning me to make good choices
Solo break (if you keep it at all, which if you're playing by yourself, I wouldn't)/Verse 3:
G Bm Em Am C
G Bm
I saw your shadow play and thought "What kind of farce is this?"
Em
But what I said was "a dying breed." Your smile was disarming
Am C
'Cause nothing is more charming than a narcissist with whom you've just agreed
D D# Em
Make good choices, thank you very much indeed
Chorus 3:
Em D Am
I used to dream of you nightly; I would wake up screaming
Em D Am
I'll try to put it politely: when you're not near my heart rejoices. Don't come near me, make good choices.
Em D Am
Your face was perfectly straight; you said that, "Basically,
Em D Am
Most people hate their friends," and I say it depends- I have so much, so much I want to tell you,
C D Em
And nowhere to begin.
