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:
