[Dm]People in life, they will [F]come and they’ll leave, but if [C]I had a choice I know [Am]where I would [G]be

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

[section 3]
Now [C]I found the strength [F]to make a change, and [Am]look at the magic I [F]found
No matter the name [F]or where you came from, ’cause [Am]no one has much figured [F]out

[section 4]
The [Dm]house that you live in don’t [F]make it a home, [C]but feeling lonely don’t mean you’re [G]alone
I [Dm]finally found where I [F]feel I belong, and [C]I know you’ll be there with [Am]wide open [G]arms

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

Through the [F]lows and the highs, I will [C]stay by your side
There’s no [G]need for goodbyes, now I’m seeing the light
