D   D9 F#m Bm    G6     
Why did I choose you   
Bm   F#m  Cdim B7  Em  B5+ Em7 A7 D 
What did I see in you 
  F#m     Cdim     Bm5-/7     Em7 F#7 
I saw the heart you hide so well 
Gdim    Bm   Bm7  E9     E7    A9  A  A7M 
I saw a quiet man     who had a gentle way 
   D9  A    E7    A  E7  D9 Bm5-/7   E7   A   Cdim  A7 
A way that caught me in its glowing    spell 
D   D9 F#m Bm   G6 Edim  
Why did I want you         
Bm  F#m Gdim  F#m Cdim  B7 F#7 D 
What could you  offer    me 
  F#m     Cdim   Bm5-/7      Em7  F#7 
A love to last a life time through 
    Edim   F#7      Bm   E7 E7/13 D9 Cm5-/7 A7M 
And when I lost my heart so  many    years ago 
A A7M  A  D   Fdim        G    Bm7    F#7 B7 
I lost it lovingly   and willingly to you 
    C#m5-/7   Gdim    B7  E7/13  E7    D9    E7/9-  A 
If I had to choose again, I   would still choose you
