G A2
Been together for a while
D/F#
And they’ve shown each other love
Bm
And things could not get any better no no
G A2
Graduate and travel,
D/F#
Are the plans they made for two
Bm
The things they’d do together
G A2
But the news comes so abruptly
D/F#
They are lost on what to do
Bm
So unwelcome this change
G A2
And sitting in the clinic
D/F#
Would make it easier to choose
Bm
This is not what they planned
D G
Love is not convenient sometimes
Em F#m G A
It’s a choice and work to do, yeah
D G
Love is not convenient sometimes
Em F#m G A2
It’s a sacrifice we choose
Climbing up the business ladder,
By moving all around
Things are falling into place oh yeah yeah
The wife and kids are happy,
Traveling with you
Toward your goal of something corporate
Her mom is fading slowly
But faster than before
Cannot live on her own
And for her to care for mama
You’d have to settle down
And give up the dream
G A2 D/F# Bm G
And we can try to look away as humanness just fades to grey
G A2 D/F# Bm G
And we can try to cleverly explain away our selfish deeds
G A2 D/F# Bm G
But when we ostracize and scorn and conveniently ignore
G A2 D/F# Bm G
We neglect to show them grace we are spitting in the face
G A2 D/F# Bm
Of the One who came to save everyone from least to great
