------

A          C#m            D

F#m        E              D


verse 1:
--------

D                          A      (you can add xx2255 and xx2224)
So, the choice that I have made

Bm
May seem...

D          F#m
Strange to you

D                      A (add the extras picked notes...)
But, who asked you anyway?

     Bm
It's my life

F#m          E
To wreck, my own way...


Chorus:
-------
           A        C#m            D
You see to someone, somewhere   (oh dear?)

                F#m
Alma Matters in mind,

         E                   D
Body and Soul, in part and in hole


REPEAT CHORUS (To someone, somewhere...)


Verse 2:
--------

D                          A
So, the life that I have made

Bm
May seem...

D     F#m
Wrong to you

D                      A
But, I've never been surer

     Bm
It's my life

F#m         E
To ruin, my own way...

Fade out with guitars...
