Verse 1:
A augmentedA
We break apart and join the rain
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Politics, the bus, the pain
A augmentedA         E minorEm (A/GA/G)       D MajorD (F#m7F#m7)
Walk the same old planet, but our world's new
A augmentedA
The falling part was fun and games
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Then it turned to tooth and nails
A augmentedA           E minorEm (A/GA/G)       D MajorD (F#m7F#m7)
A augmentedA song I heard when I was young don't ring true

Pre-chorus:
Bm7Bm7            DmDm
And I'm not the first to know

Chorus:
A augmentedA   A/GA/G    F#m7F#m7
Love isn't a choice
(A augmentedA)    D MajorD
Isn't a way you decide
   DmDm
It deafens and blinds and
A augmentedA    A/GA/G     F#m7F#m7
Pulls you into the void
(A augmentedA)           D MajorD
And it ain't enough by design
   DmDm
I learnt this with time,
     Bm7Bm7        DmDm       A augmentedA
that love isn't a choice, but leaving is

Verse 2:
A augmentedA
Wake alone in empty baths
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Anything to pass the past
A augmentedA     E minorEm (A/GA/G)         D MajorD (F#m7F#m7)
Run around this park 6 times and miss you
A augmentedA
Swear I'm fine yet I replay
Dmaj7Dmaj7
All the laughs that wedding day
A augmentedA                 E minorEm (A/GA/G)   D MajorD (F#m7F#m7)
Got more compliments than the bride and groom

Pre-chorus:
Bm7Bm7            DmDm
And I'm just the last to know

Chorus 2:
A augmentedA   A/GA/G    F#m7F#m7
Love isn't a choice
(A augmentedA)    D MajorD
Isn't a way you decide
    DmDm
It deafens and blinds and
A augmentedA    A/GA/G    F#m7F#m7
Pulls you into the void
(A augmentedA)       D MajorD
and it ain't enough by design
  DmDm
I learnt this with time,
  Bm7Bm7       DmDm
that love isn't a choice
 Bm7Bm7        DmDm
Oh, love isn't a choice
       A augmentedA
But leaving is
