[Intro]
C F Am F

[Verse 1]
C                     F
All of my life I thought I was right
Am                             F
Looking for something new
C                                                         F
Stuck in my ways like old-fashioned days
Am                             F
But all the roads led me to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                                           F
The house that you live in don’t make it a home
C                                           G
But feeling lonely don’t mean you’re alone
Dm                                                         F
People in life, they will come and they’ll leave
C                             Am                             G
But if I had a choice I know where I would be

[Chorus]
F                                           C
Through the lows and the highs, I will stay by your side
G                             Am                                           G
There’s no need for goodbyes, now I’m seeing the light
F                                                         C
When the sky turns to grey and there’s nothing to say
G                                           Am
At the end of the day, I choose you

[Verse 2]
C                                           F
Now I found the strength to make a change
Am                                           F
And look at the magic I found
C                                           F
No matter the name or where you came from
Am                                           F
‘Cause no one has much figured out

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                                           F
The house that you live in don’t make it a home
C                                                                       G
But feeling lonely don’t mean you’re alone
Dm                                                         F
I finally found where I feel I belong
C                             Am               G
And I know you’ll be there with wide open arms

[Chorus]
F                                           C
Through the lows and the highs, I will stay by your side

There’s no need for goodbyes, now I’m seeing the light
F                                           C
When the sky turns to grey and there’s nothing to say
G                                                         Am
At the end of the day, I choose you
F C      F Am
I choose you
F C F Am F
I choose you

[Bridge]

There’s no need for goodbyes, now I’m seeing the light
