[Verse 1]
I [A]remember the day
I called [D]mama on the telephone
I told her [E]mama I'm getting [A]married
I could hear her voice on the other side
of the tel[D]ephone she was smiling
And she [E]asked me a question
that I proudly [A]answered
She said son did you take [D]time to know her
I said ma[E]ma she's the [A]best
But today it hurts me so
To go [D]back to mama and say
[E]mama I 'm getting divorced
[A]Oh I'm getting divorced

[Pre-chorus 1]
[E]This cho[D]ice I made
[E]didn't work out the way[D] I thought it would
[E]This cho[D]ice I made
[A]it hurts me so mama
[E]This cho[D]ice I made
[E]didn't work out the way[D] I thought it would
[E]This choice of min[D]e, oh
[A]Mama said to me

[Chorus 1]
It's not [A]easy to under[D]stand it son
But I hope you'll [E]make it
You'll be happy [A]again
It's not easy to under[D]stand it son
But I hope you'll [E]make it
You'll be happy [A]again

[Verse 2]
[A]I remember in church
[D]When the preacher read the scriptures
[E]You looked so beautiful,
so beautiful and [A]so innocent
I did not know that be[D]hind that beauty
Lies the true [E]colors
that will destroy me in the near [A]future

[Pre-chorus 2]
[E]This cho[D]ice I made
[E]didn't wor[D]k out to be
[E]one I thought it would be[D]
[A]Oh, mama
[E]This choice I m[D]ade
[E]didn't work out the way[D] I thought it would
[E]Now I'm[D] hur[A]ting

[Verse 3]
[A][D]
[E][A]
I remember when I held you
By the [D]hand preacher man read the scriptures
Put[E]ting words in you [A]mouth
Maybe what the preacher man said
[D]was not something that was with you
[E]Now I know what they mean
when [A]they say
Beautiful woman is another man's [D]plaything
Oh [E]Lord I'm hurt[A]ing now

[Pre-chorus 3]
[E]This cho[D]ice I made
[E]didn't work out
[D]the way I thought it would
[E]This choice of min[D]e, oh
[A]Mama said to me

[Chorus 2]
It's not [A]easy to under[D]stand it son
But I hope you'll [E]make it
You'll be happy [A]again
It's not easy to under[D]stand it son
But I hope you'll [E]make it
You'll be happy [A]again
[Fade out]
