[Intro]
Gadd9

[Verse]
        Gadd9             Dsus2
He was sixteen, tender and tough
       Gadd9                          A7
She was too, and he'd do anything to prove his love
     G       D/F#   Em       A7       Bm
With so much riding on the choice at hand
    D/A          G          A7        Dsus2
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man
             Gadd9              Dsus2
Hearts caught fire and love ran wild
             Gadd9                                     A7
She cried the day she called to say she was having his child
     G       D/F#   Em       A7       Bm
With so much riding on the choice at hand
   D/A          G                      A
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man

[Bridge]
          A/C#             A                  G                  D
There's a constant contradiction, what feels good and what feels right
        G                           D              A
But you live with decisions that you make in your life
         A/C#              A       Em           Bm
And what steers your direction is hard to understand
    D/A         G                       A
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man

[Verse 2x]
                 Gadd9                        Dsus2
Now he drives a diesel out of Dallas, hauling cars out to the coast
  Gadd9    A
A7sus4 A7
It ain't the dream that he remembered, just a few short years ago
                 G                            Dsus2
But tonight at a truck stop, while drinking a cup
G    A7
A7sus4
The waitress grins and winks at him and says, "My shift's almost up"
     G       D/F#   Em                Bm
With so much riding on the choice at hand
    D           G           A          D
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man
