[Intro]
G D D C G D D C
[Verse]
GIt's probably now that I need you the most
DWhen I'm one half child and the other ghost
DAnd one of 'em wants to pull you close and the oCther to let you go
GTime's criminal love heart won
DAnd love defies everyone
DInside my skin, a skeleton is Cwarming up his act
GThough my body's my dog and my friend doesn't bite
DThough he looks severe and erudite
DA hundred degrees Fahrenheit he's as Ccool as an ermine
GIf one of these is a poison cup and
Dmy acceptance seems abrupt
DBut if you're gonna line 'em up, well I Chave to knock 'em down
GWell there's nothing so wrong that what's right can't fix
DDespite how blood and water mix and
Dwhen a pony runs out of tricks and his Cwork has just begun
GNow lord, duty bade me fight Just a
Dlonely impulse of delight and Dbalancing had brought to mind
DThe years to come, Dthe years behind DWill I grow weary of the sun,
Dremembering what I have done with Cold mythologies?
[Chorus]
You gotta Dchoose
You Cwanted the AM7song to rAMescue us
AMAmyAM7,   Cwhat did you Dleave for us?
So we could get Ghome
[Verse]
GSolomon sang Sheba's grace and he
Dkissed her soft and sulking face
DIf one of us has to leave this place, will the Cother come along?
GWe been on the round and round
DShared our kisses by the pound and
Dchased our shadows on the ground
DSpilled our cups in China town
DPut up the moon, took down the sun
DPlayed our songs for everyone
DRemembering what we had done with Cold mythologies]
[Chorus]
You gotta Dchoose
You Cwanted the AM7song to AMrescue us
AMAmyAM7,   Cwhat did you Dleave for us?
So we could get Ghome
