xSong: To Be The One
Artist: Ryan Adams
Album: Heartbreaker
Tuning: Standard (Capo on 3rd, so the G C and D are actually Ab Eb and Db)
Intro: (one |...| represents one beat) so it's like this:
1 2 3 4and 1 2 3 4and
G | G | G | G C | G | G | G | G C |
And he just picks the chords lightly, and plays harmonica on top of it.
The rest of the song goes like this:
G C
Well the pills I got they ask me lets go out for a while
G C
And the knives up in the kitchen are all too dull to smile
G
Yeah and the sun it tries to warn me
C
Boy those wings are made of wax
C G
While the things I do to kill me
D
They just tell me to relax
G
But oh... cinderella
C
All dressed up in all your boots and all your charms
G
I’m not the fellow
D
To protect you or to keep you from all your harm
G C G
And I don’t know which is worse
C
To wake up and see the sun
D
Or to be the one be the one
G C G
Be the one that’s gone
C G
(he kind of starts strumming here, but still light)
G C G
And the empty bottle it misses you
G C G
Yeah and I’m the one that it’s talking to
G C G
And with you and I just barely strangers
D
I’m pretty much just left the fool
G
Damn... don’t the streets look empty though
C
Just wandering round here without you
C G C G
Oh the empty bottle it misses you and I’m the one it’s talking to
C G C G
G C G
And I don’t know which is worse
C
To wake up and see the sun
D
Or to be the one be the one
G C G
be the one that’s gone
C G C G
End on G
Cheers, Max
