Lyrics

I choose me

and I know that’s sel fish love.

You are a dream

and I can’t thank you e (C)nough.

But I give an oth er piece of me a way

ev ’ry wak ing day that I’m with you.

Am I a mon ster?

What will your fam ’ly think of (Bm7)me?

They brought me in, they helped me out with ev er y (C)thing.

But I give a lit tle piece of me a way and ev ’ry sin gle day.

So I pick up the piec es,

I get on a mid night (Bm7)train.

I’ve got my rea sons,

but dar ling, I can’t ex (C)plain.

I’ll al ways love you but to (Cm7)night’s the night I choose to walk a (G)way.

Ba ba do.

Can’t stop cry ing,

I hate that I’ve caused you (Bm7)pain, but I can’t de ny it.

I just don’t feel the same.

Ba ba do.

So I pick up the piec es,

I get on a mid night (Bm7)train.

I’ve got my rea sons,

but dar ling, I can’t ex (C)plain.

I’ll al ways love you but to (Cm7)night’s the night I choose to walk a (G)way.
