I will choose what I believe

See you in the marketplace
Em C C G
Walking 'round at 8 a-m
Em C C G
Got 2 hours before my flight
Em C C G
Luck be on my side tonight
Em C C G
You're the reason that I feel so strong
Em C C G
The reason that I'm hanging on
Em C C G
You know you gave me all the time
Em C C G
Well did I give enough of mine?
[Pre-Chorus]
