Moments of Decision
Music and lyrics by Alan Babbitt


Intro
G C G C G C G C G

G                        C
In the early 1900’s
G                                              C
My grandparents lived in Russia
G
There was strife - a dangerous life -
C                             G       C  D
Under a badass czar
G                                               C
Then there finally came a moment
G                             C
A moment of decision
G                    D           Em
They said "We're goin' to America
Am7          D                       Em
it"s only 5,000 miles away."
C                                       D
If not for that moment
G                                      C      G  C D
I wouldn't be here today
G                                              C
Now those moments of decision
G                                  C
Come with lasting effects
G              D          Em
As our lives unfold in a linear way
Am7                                         D
As one thing leads to the next
G                                                  C
But If you change your perspective
G                             C
To an historical view
G                        D                   
remove one link
                     Em
from the chain of events
Am7                                                D
And whatever comes after is new
C                                 D
Without all those moments
G                                    C  G Am GMaj
You'd be a different you.

Chorus

FMaj
Sometimes those moments
CMaj7
are subtle and small
FMaj
They're of such a size -

you don't realize

CMaj7                                  C#Maj7
they've happened at all.
DMaj7
And they can come and go
Bm7
without leaving a clue.
CMaj7
But when you look back

you can see the track
Am7    Am6        Bm7    Bm6
Leading to the current you.

(Bridge)
Am7 Am6 Bm7 Bm6 Am7
G                                                   C
So if you're facing tough decisions
G                                             C
And they're driving you nuts
G                              D                   Em
Could be you're thinkin' when 1 door opens

Am7                D
another one shuts.
G                                                 C
But if you go through that new door
G                                     C
And you let yourself see.
G                        D              Em
There'll be door after door after door after door
Am7     D            Em
Of possibility
C                                        D
Each a moment of decision
G                     C           G
That could set you free.
