I Choose You Sara Bareilles
Transcribed by ear thanks to iTunes streaming the album before its release :)
Might be easier if you transpose down 2 half-steps on the site and use a capo on 2 (no
bar chords that way: first chord should be G then)
Artist: Sara Bareilles
Album: The Blessed Unrest
Song: I Choose You
Verse 1:
[A]Let the bough break, [Amaj7]let it come down cr[F#m]ashing
[D]Let the sun fade out [Dmaj7]to a dark sky[E]
[A]I can't say I'd even [Amaj7]notice it was a[F#m]bsent
[D]Cause I could live by the [Dmaj7]light in your ey[E]es
Pre-Chorus 1:
[F#m]I'll unfold before you[D]
What I've strung together[B7]
The very first words
Of a l[D]ifelong[E] love letter
Chorus:
[A]Tell the world that we [Amaj7]finally got it all right[F#m]
[D] [Dmaj7] [E]
I choo-oo-oo-oo-oo--oose you
[A]I will become yours [Amaj7]and you will become m[F#m]ine
[D] [Dmaj7] [E]
I choo-oo-oo-oo-oo--oose you
[F#m] [D] [E] [A]
I choo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oose you
[A](Y[Amaj7]eah)[F#m] [D] [Dmaj7] [E]
Verse 2:
There was a time when I would have believed them
If they told me that you could not come true
Just love's illusion
But then you found me and everything changed
And I believe in something again
Pre-Chorus 2:
My whole heart
Will be yours forever
This is a beautiful start
To a lifelong love letter
Chorus:
Tell the world that we finally got it all right
I choose you
I will become yours and you will become mine
I choose you
I choose you
Bridge:
[F#m]We are not perfect
We'll [D]learn from our mistakes
And as [A]long as it takes
I will [E]prove my love to you
[F#m]I am not scared of the e[D]lements
I am underprepar[A]ed, but I am willing[E]
And even better
E (hold)
I get to be the other half of you
Final Chorus:
[A]Tell the world that we [Amaj7]finally got it all right[F#m]
[D] [Dmaj7] [E]
I choo-oo-oo-oo-oo--oose you
[A]I will become yours [Amaj7]and you will become m[F#m]ine
[D] [Dmaj7] [E]
I choo-oo-oo-oo-oo--oose you
[D] [Dmaj7] [E]
I choo-oo-oo-oo-oo--oose you
[F#m] [D] [E] [A]
I choo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oose you
