G                  D/F#         Em      Cadd9
 Well, I chose my house and I chose my car
G               D/F#      Em     Cadd9
 I chose the strings on this guitar
G             D/F#    Em        Cadd9
 I chose to smoke that first cigar
G             D/F#  Em  Cadd9
 All of these things,
G        D/F#  Em  Cadd9
 I chose


[Verse 2]
G                 D/F#       Em7   Cadd9
 And I chose the hat that's on my head
G        D/F#   Em7     Cadd9
 And the pillows on my bed
G                D/F#     Em7   Cadd9
 And I chose to eat what I was fed
G              D/F#              Em7     Cadd9
 Even though I wanted something else instead
G        D/F#  Em  Cadd9
 I chose
G        D/F#  Em  Cadd9
 I chose


[Chorus]
      G                    D/F#
But I didn't choose to be born in June
   Em            Cadd9
A baby boy with eyes of blue
  G                   D/F#
I didn't choose the blood in my veins
Em              Cadd9
My hometown, or my last name
  G                  D/F#
I didn't choose the way I feel
  Em                     Cadd9
I know it's right, and I know it's real
G                  D/F#
 Some things are a part of me
  Em            Cadd9 G   D/F#  Em  Cadd9
And other things, I chose
G        D/F#  Em  Cadd9
 I chose


[Verse 3]
G             D/F#      Em7         Cadd9
 I chose to kneel, and I chose to pray
G                D/F#         Em7   Cadd9
 That God would take all the pain away
G                D/F#         Em7       Cadd9
 And I chose to hide all the doubt and fear
G             D/F#       Em7       Cadd9
 I chose the path that brought me here
G        D/F#  Em  Cadd9
 I chose
G        D/F#  Em  Cadd9
 I chose



[Chorus]
      G                    D/F#
But I didn't choose to be born in June
   Em            Cadd9
A baby boy with eyes of blue
  G                   D/F#
I didn't choose the blood in my veins
Em              Cadd9
My hometown, or my last name
  G                  D/F#
I didn't choose the way I feel
      Em                       Cadd9
But I know what's right, and I know what's real
G                  D/F#
 Some things are a part of me
  Em            Cadd9 G   D/F#  Em  Cadd9
And other things, I chose
G        D/F#  Em  Cadd9
 I chose
G        D/F#  Em  Cadd9
 I chose
G        D/F#  Em  Cadd9  G
 I chose
