Sara Bareilles - 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

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
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

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
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
