Lyrics

(Bbmaj9)Lov ing you is not a choice, it’s (Eb)who I am.

(Gm9)Lov ing you is not a choice, and (C9sus)not much rea son to re joice, but it (Fmaj9)gives me pur pose, (Fmaj9)gives me voice to (Bb)say to the world:

This is why I (Bb6)live.

You are why I (Dmaj7)live.

(Dmaj9)Lov ing you is why I do the (Bm9)things I do.

(Em9)Lov ing you is not in my con (Gmaj7)trol.

But (C)lov ing you, I have a goal for what’s (Bsus)left of my life.

(Am9)I will live, and I would (D)die for (G)you.
