[Verse 1]
D                                                                            E7/D
  The myriad choices of his fate, set themselves out upon a plate for him to choose

               D
What had he to lose, Not a ghost bloodied country, all covered with sleep

                                                              E7/D
Where the black angel did weep, not an old city street in the east

        D
Gone to choose, And wandering's brother walked on through the night

                                                            E7/D        D
With his hair in his face on a long splintered cut from the knife of G.T.

                                                                            E7/D         D
The rally man's patter ran on through the dawn Until we said so long To his skull-shrill yell
N.C Shining brightly red-rimmed and Red-lined with the time Infused with the choice of the mind
                       E7/D
On ice skates scraping chunks

         D        D/E   E7/D    D
From the bells
[Verse 2]
D                                                                            E7/D
  Cut mouth bleeding razor's Forgetting the pain Antiseptic remains cool goodbye

       D                                  E7/D         D                     D
So you fly, To the cozy brown snow of the east Gone to choose, choose again

D
  Sacrificials remains make it hard to forget  Where you come from The stools of your eyes

                 E7/D          D
Serve to realize fame, choose again, And roverman's refrain of the sacrilege recluse

                                                         E7/D
For the loss of a horse, Went the bowels and a tail of a rat

      D                     D    D
Come again, choose to go
[Verse 3]
D
  And if epiphany's terror reduced you to shame Have your head bobbed and weaved

         E7/D       D
Choose a side to be on, If the stone glances off Split didactics in two

                                                                       E7/D
Leave the colors of the mouse trails  Don't scream, try between If you choose

       D                                                                    E7/D
If you choose, try to lose for the loss of remain come and start, Start the game

  D
I che che che che I Che che che ka tak koh

D
  Choose to choose

D
  Choose to choose, choose to go
