I Choose You

	  		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                    Amaj7              F#m 
Let the bough break, let it come down crashing 
D                    Dmaj7        E 
Let the sun fade out to a dark sky 
A                    Amaj7          F#m 
I can't say I'd even notice it was absent 
D                         Dmaj7           E 
Cause I could live by the light in your eyes 

Pre-Chorus 1: 
F#m                   D 
I'll unfold before you 
                         B7 
What I've strung together 

The very first words 
      D      E 
Of a lifelong love letter 

A                      Amaj7                   F#m 
Tell the world that we finally got it all right 
                D       Dmaj7 E 
I choo-oo-oo-oo-oo--oose     you 
A                   Amaj7                F#m 
I will become yours and you will become mine 
                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 Amaj7 F#m  D Dmaj7 E 

(Yeah) 

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 

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 
      D 
We'll learn from our mistakes 
       A 
And as long as it takes 
       E 
I will prove my love to you 
F#m                     D 
I am not scared of the elements 
                A                    E 
I am underprepared, but I am willing 

And even better 
E (hold) 
I get to be the other half of you 

Final Chorus: 
A                      Amaj7                   F#m 
Tell the world that we finally got it all right 
                D       Dmaj7 E 
I choo-oo-oo-oo-oo--oose     you 
A                   Amaj7                F#m 
I will become yours and you will become mine 
                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
