           C              G 
When we're born into this world 
         D             G 
We don't really get to say 
       C               G                D 
Little boys and little girls handed the brand new families 
      C               G 
There comes a time in life  
        D              Em 
When we finally get to choose 
             C  G          C  G 
And I choose you, I choose you 

         C            G 
We can't give our two cents  
       D               Em 
Of how tall we want to be 
         C        G 
We don't get an opinion  
   D 
On our ethnicity 
        C                G 
But the one we spend our life with 
D              Em 
That we get to choose 
             C  G          C  G 
And I choose you, I choose you 

         D  Em   C        G 
I choose you, to be by my side 
         D  Em   C          G 
I choose you, to hold me at night 
         D         Em          C           G 
It's the biggest decision I'm about to get right 
         C  G          C  G 
I choose you, I choose you 

C         G 
Everybody has one,  
  D                  Em 
A choice they get to make 
     C          G 
Half human half heaven  
       D 
That decides the family tree 
       C            G 
Now we all pick the branches 
     D                Em 
That then becomes the roots 
             C  G          C  G 
And I choose you, I choose you 

          
         D  Em   C        G 
I choose you, to be by my side 
         D  Em   C          G 
I choose you, to hold me at night 
         D         Em          C           G 
It's the biggest decision I'm about to get right 
         C  G          C  G 
I choose you, I choose you 

D             Em      G        C       G 
I was worried I would not know what to do  
         C        G 
If I was in these shoes 
D                  Em      G        C      G 
Standing here it's clearer than the sky is blue 
     C        G             D 
That I choose you, I choose you 
        C         G              D               Em 
With so little we control, thank God it's in the rules 
          C     G              C  G 
We get to choose, and I choose you 

         D  Em   C        G 
I choose you, to be by my side 
         D  Em   C          G 
I choose you, to hold me at night 
         D         Em          C           G 
It's the biggest decision I'm about to get right 
         C  G          C  G 
I choose you, I choose you 
         C  G          C  G 
I choose you, I choose you
