The Airborne Toxic Event
One Time Thing
Capo 4
[Intro]
C Am Gadd11 (x2)
[Verse 1]
C
When I woke up today
Am
I got your message on my phone
Gadd11
You said I had fun
C
Did you ever make it home?
Am
I tried to read between the lines
Gadd11
Oh yeah, I’m doing fine
F
Feels like my head is made of moonshine
Gadd11
And cheap-ass wine
Am Gadd11 F
My best friend told me I should just stop looking for a sign
Gadd11
Babe
[Chorus]
C
So okay
Am
You told me it was just a one time thing
Gadd11
A spark on gasoline
C
So what could I say?
Am Gadd11
If you tell me it don’t mean a thing, yeah
C
Somebody told me you were mean
C Am Gadd11 (x1)
[Verse 2]
C
Then in a couple of days
Am
I get this photograph of you
Gadd11
The message says you’re lonely too
C
Do you wanna tell me what to do?
Am
I thought maybe it was a line
Gadd11
When we spoke that one last time
F
Sounds like your breath is full of moonshine
Gadd11
And cheap-ass wine
Am Gadd11 F
My best friend told me I should just stop looking for a sign
Gadd11
Babe
[Chorus]
C
So okay
Am
You told me it was just a one time thing
Gadd11
A spark on gasoline
C
So what could I say?
Am Gadd11
If you tell me it don’t mean a thing, yeah
F
Somebody told me you were like a machine
Gadd11
And so damn mean
Am Gadd11
My mind’s falling to pieces every time I try to jump up
F
On this trampoline
[Bridge]
C Am Gadd11
Why don’t you tell me what you mean?
C Am Gadd11
Why don’t you tell me what you mean?
F
Why won’t you tell me I was just your mistake?
Gadd11
How long can this take?
Am Gadd11
How many sleepless nights can I go over every second
F
While I’m lying awake?
Gadd11
Babe
[Chorus]
C
So okay
Am
If this is really just a one time thing
Gadd11
I think I’ve lost something
C
What else can I say?
Am Gadd11
I don’t blame you for a single thing, yeah
C
Somebody told me I should stay away
Am
But I can’t help it I want one more thing
Gadd11
Silence is deafening
C
I can’t put you away
Am Gadd11
And I don’t blame you for a single thing, yeah
C
Somebody told me you were mean
