Melanie - To Be The One
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: C F Am C F Am C
F G Em C
The song that kills me, is playing lowly
F G C
Plays in my heart when you turn to go
F G Em C
Lights dim to black, let’s light candles only
F Am G
It’s only me in an afterglow
CHORUS:
N.C. Am C G
But to be the one, you turn to in the night
Am C G
To be the one, riding your shadow light
Am C G
To be the one, I would believe again
Am C G C
To be the one, I would give anything
INSTRUMENTAL: F Am G C F C
F G Em C
I remember a dawn coming through the window
F G C
And the black lines of the window frame
F G Em C
And you riding toward the old inn doorway
F Am G
Leading to no more remembering
CHORUS:
N.C. Am C G
But to be the one, right in this here and now
Am C G
To be the one, who could live in your heart
Am C G
To be the one, it would be real to dream
Am C G Am
To be the one, I would give anything
INSTRUMENTAL: G Dm F Am D G Dm F G
BRIDGE:
C F
It’s my heart in these words
G Em C
And there’s truth in forever
F G Am
Forever I’ll love you, beyond my time
C F G Em C
The body of the song, it goes on a journey
F Am G
Only the singer can breathe it to life
CHORUS:
N.C. Am C G
But to be the one, sharing your life and breath
Am C G
To be the one, filling your emptiness
Am C G
One leap toward heaven, please be my song to sing
Am C G C
To be the one, I would give anything
