Song

Backstreet Boys - The One
Chords by Rune T, Norway.
Capo on first for studio version. Listen to the song for timing of chord changes,
as they might not be placed perfecly.
[Intro] Strum once (downupdown) on the A in the beginning
I'll be the one      

Verse 1

I guess you were lost when I met you
Still there were tears in your eyes
So out of trust and I knew
No more than mysteries and lies 

Pre-Chorus

There you were, wild and free
Reachin' out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night

Chorus

I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one...
To hold you and make sure that you'll be alright

Verse 2

'Cause my faith is gone 
And I want to take you from darkness to light

Pre-Chorus

There you were, wild and free
Reachin' out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night

Chorus

I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one...
To hold you and make sure that you'll be alright

Bridge

You need me like I need you
We can share our dreams comin' true
I can show you what true love means
Just take my hand, baby please
I'll be the one, I'll be the light 
Where you can run to make it alright
I'll be the one, I'll be the light
Where you can run… 
Chorus x2
