[C#m]
[C#] [F#] The alarm rang at 7 this morning, the [G#m] same time it did yesterday.
[G#m] 7.30's my breakfast time, [C#] and I know what the wife's gonna [F#] say.
Crawford's next door, got a new [F#] swimming pool, the [G#m] Miller's got a color [B] TV.
[C#] Mr.
Wilson's job's not good as [B] yours, but his wife dresses [F#] better than you.
I get to the [D#m] pool, keep close [G#m] by, and drop off the kids at the gate.
Then I drive past the club, [C#] outside the bank, exactly a [F#] quarter past eight.
When I reach the [D#m] stop sign at Oak Street, [G#m] the same thought crosses my mind.
Should I turn right [C#] like I always have, [B] or left and [F#] leave it behind?
[B] Right or left [F#] at Oak Street, that's the choice I face every day.
[B] And I don't know which [F#] takes more courage, [C#] the stayin' or the runnin' [F#] away.
[D] [Gm]
[D] A left turn would take [Em] me to somewhere, leave alarm [G#] clocks and schedules behind.
[D] And the world wouldn't care if [C] I'm not somewhere at some particular [G] time.
For a man can [B] do what he wants to do, [Am] and no one expects him to give
all of his [D] time to the same old [Am] routine and the one [G] life that he has to live.
I'm not sure which way [Em] is the best way, but I've always turned [Am] right before.
And it might be [D] strange at the end of the day, if they weren't there [G] at the door.
A man [Em] must make his decisions, [G]
[C] consider the stakes.
[D] For every man's life [A] is a gamble, [C] it depends on [G] the turn that he takes.
Right or left at Oak Street, [C] that's the choice I face [G] every day.
[C] And I don't know which takes [G] more courage, [D] the stayin' or the [G] runnin' away.
