[Verse 1]
[D]The [Am]Deci[D]sion (Jerry Thompson,
Ricky [G]Van [C]She[G]lton, 1985)
[C]She fell in love with her [D]heart
[G]and showed it physically
[Em]It was a nig[Am]ht of love and passion[D]
for the [G]whole wide world to see
[C]Nobody every [D]told her that [G]one

And now [Am]she cries at night 'til the
[D]mornin light dries her [C]tears of [D]misery

[G]She's gonna make a decis[C]ion[D]
'bout the baby in[G]side[Em]
She's only [Am]seventeen,
[D]and she's not a bri[G]de
She's gonna make a de[C]cision,
[D]which will it be[G][D][Em]
[Bm]Whichever she [Am]chooses,
[D]will she every be fre[G]e?[C][G]

[Verse 3]
[C]The talk she had with [D]her mother
didn't [G]seem to ease her [Em]mind
[Am]The night of love and pas
[D]sion [G]seems so far behind
She [C]learned too late just [D]one mistake
can [G]turn a love to [Em]hate
Now will she [Am]go down to the cl[D]inic and
[C]take what's not [D]hers to take

[D]which will it be[G][D][Em]

[D]will she every be fre[G]e?

[Verse 5]
[C]Her mother cries at the table,
[D]her dad[G]dy slams the doo[Em]r
Her [Am]boyfriend, he left [D]town last night,
she [G]won't see him no more
She [C]wakes up sick each [D]morning
and [G]lays down lonely each [Em]night
Can she [Am]hold her head up and
[D]live with the shame
Or will she [C]end it [D]all out of [G]fright?
She left the [C]innocence of her child
[D]hood in [G]that mot[D]el roo[Em]m
And [Am]now she's facing m[D]otherhood
with a [G]baby in her womb
[C]All of her dreams for the fu
[D]ture [G]are now in her [Em]past
[Am]Can she face tom[D]orrow
and [C]will her [D]courage last?

[Bm]Whichever she [Am]chooses,
[D]will she every be fre[G]e?[C]

[Verse 7]
[G]She's gonna make a decis[C]ion[D]

[D]and she's not a b[G]ride
She's gonna make a de[C]cision,
[D]which will it be[G][D][Em]
Whichever she chooses, will she every be free?
