                Fmaj7             C

    To make a mountain of

            Em               Am

    Your life is just a choice

         Em               Am

    to listen to the voice that told me

    Squeeze the air and keep the rest out

    Helps to write it down

    Even when you then cross it out

    Self directed lives
