I'd Choose You Again

Verse 1

Fingerpicked guitar and voice

You were four with a garbage bagEverything you owned was insideYou wouldn't take your trainers offIn case you had to run againSo I made you pancakes shaped like stars

Pre-Chorus

You asked how long you could stayI said for as long as you want

Chorus

I'd choose you againOut of all the kids aliveBlood has nothing on thisI'd choose you again

Verse 2

You're taller than me now, and louderYou call me Dad without a pauseThe garbage bag is in the loftI could never throw it out

Pre-Chorus

You asked how long you could stayI said for as long as you want

Chorus

Strings and full band enter

I'd choose you againOut of all the kids aliveBlood has nothing on thisI'd choose you again

Bridge

Guitar alone, voice cracking

You don't owe me anything, sonYou gave me somewhere to call home

Final Chorus

Key change, full band, a long held high note

I'd choose you againOut of all the kids aliveBlood has nothing on thisI'd choose you againI'd choose you againOut of all the kids aliveBlood has nothing on thisAnd I'd choose you again
