    _______________________
   / Corinne Bailey Rae   /  This is definitely my favourite song off the album;
  / I'd Do It All Again  /  It is so intimate and soulful! Corinne's band never
 / The Sea              /  sounded so organicly and alive ...and I have never
/______________________/  heard Corinne sing as soulfully as this!  Enjoy :D

 Key:    A major(###)
 Tempo:  68 bpm

In this song there are actually 3 layers of guitar.
And to make things a bit clearer, I've notated them separately:


********************************************************************************
* Gtr 1: Corinne's acoustic steel-stringed guitar (finger picking).
*        This guitar carries the song throughout the quiet passages.

 LYRICS
**********
Oh, you're searching for something I know
won't make you happy,
Oh, you're thirsting for something I know
won't make you happy,
Oh, you did it all again,
You broke another skein,
It's hard to believe this time,
It's hard to believe that my heart,
My heart's an open door,
You got all you came for,
So be real

Someone to love is bigger than your pride's worth
It's bigger than the pain you got, for all it hurts
It outruns all of the sadness
It's terrifying light to the darkness

And I'd do it all again
I'd do it all again
I'd do it all again
I'd do it all again

You try sometimes but it won't stop
You got my heart and my head's lost, oh 
I've been burning down these candles for love,
For love
So be real

Someone to love is bigger than your pride.

Oh,
You're searching for something I know won't
make you happy
