Choose To Love
Francesca Batistelli
Verse 1:
D Bm
I locked up my heart, and I put on a show
D
I let the busyness of life be a wall
Bm
So nobody gets close
D Bm
Well I got a lot done; yeah, I'm so type A
D
But, I'm ?nding arms length is a safe
Bm
But lonely place
Chorus:
So I'm gonna choose to
G D
Reach out, choose to lay down
A Bm
All of the fear that I've been hiding
G
Choose to be brave
D
Though my heart's afraid
A Bm
To be a part of Your Kingdom rising
G D
Oh, God I'm done running from
A Bm
The reason that You sent Your Son
G A D
So I will choose to love
Bm
Woah oh oh (first time only)
Verse 2:
D Bm G
Well it's always a risk, and it's always a dare
D
But it's a far more dangerous thing
Bm
To listen to fear
G D Bm G
But it's a beautiful thing to know and be known
D
Yeah, there's a whole lot of life
Bm
Outside of my comfort zone
[Repeat Chorus] (Replace ending note for “Love” from D to Em)
Bridge:

Bm A
Oh God, let my heart be tender
Em F#m G
In a world so tough
A D
I'm gonna choose to love
Bm
Woah oh oh
G
Woah oh oh
[Repeat Chorus]
Coda:
G D
Maybe I'll hurt, maybe I'll bruise
A Bm
Maybe I'll cry, maybe I'll lose
G A D
Still, I will choose to love
Bm
Woah oh oh
D
Yeah, yeah
Bm G
Woah oh oh
