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.
