verse 1:
G [C] [G C]
Did you ever have to make up your mind
G [C] G E
To pick up on one and leave the other behind
G D C
It's not often easy, and not often kind
D G
Did you ever have to make up your mind
verse 2:
Did you ever have to finally decide
To say yes to one and let the other one ride
There's so many changes and tears you must hide
Did you ever have to finally decide
chorus 1:
E7
Sometimes there's one with big blue eyes, cute as a bunny

C A7 G E7

D Dsus4 D Dsus4

[repeat verse 1 ("Then you know you better...")]
[guitar solo over verse chords]
chorus 2:
Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her
And then you get distracted by her older sister
Then in walks her father, and takes you in line
And says "better go home, son, and make up your mind"
[repeat verse 3 ("Then you bet you better...")]
coda: (repeat last bar of intro)
