No Choice in the Matter
Album: Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit


INTRO: G  Am  B  C  C#  D  G  D

            G
We'll say a friend of mine
           Am   B    C  
A fellow I know real well
D
Came to me on Friday
         G             D
He had a story to tell
G
I've heard it a thousand times
             Am    B  C   C#
This one hit close to home
D
'Cause the woman who left him
           G           D
I've taken for my own


CHORUS:
                   G
Love leaves you no choice in the matter
              Am
There ain't a damn thing sadder
       D                              G     D
Than a man in the throws of somethin' real
            G
A woman who lays down beside you
          Am
She can't help or hide you
D                                G     D
It don't matter how she wants to feel


So I bought him a round or two
Gave him a talkin' to
Said boy you can't let yourself
Get so far
But you can't tell a man a thing
He's pickin' out diamond rings
When you yourself
Don't know who you are


CHORUS


D#


BRIDGE:
   Em                       Bm
My hands, they used to be a young man's hands
Em                         Bm
But I worked them to the bone for one woman
Em                                      Bm
When she'd even find the time to get to know another man
Am                                D
Leave me alone, he said leave me alone


SOLO (verse chords)


CHORUS (end on Em)

    G        D#                      G     D   G
Oh, it don't matter how she wants to feel
