Jason Isbell No Choice in the Matter Lyrics

INTRO: G Am B C C# D G D
We'll say a friend of mine
A fellow I know real well
Came to me on Friday
He had a story to tell
I've heard it a thousand times
This one hit close to home
'Cause the woman who left him
I've taken for my own
CHORUS:
Love leaves you no choice in the matter
There ain't a damn thing sadder
Than a man in the throws of somethin' real
A woman who lays down beside you
She can't help or hide you
It don't matter how she wants to feel
So I bought him a round or two
Gave him a talkin' to
Said boy you can't let yourself
Get so far
But you can't tell a man a thing
He's pickin' out diamond rings
When you yourself
Don't know who you are
BRIDGE:
My hands, they used to be a young man's hands
But I worked them to the bone for one woman
When she'd even find the time to get to know another man
Leave me alone, he said leave me alone
SOLO (verse chords)
CHORUS (end on Em)
Oh, it don't matter how she wants to feel
