The One

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Chorus 1:

I)

|Am |% |C |% |Em |% |Em7|Em7 Em6 Em

Why should you be the one to go out on the edge

|Am |% |C |% |Em |% |Em7|%

Do you really want to be another dead hero?

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^^ ^

Chorus 2:

1)

|Am |% |C |% |Em |% |Em7|Em7 Em6 Em

Why should you be the one to go out on the edge

|Am |% |C |% |Em |% |E |%

Do you really want to be another dead hero?

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^^ ^

Verse:

|Am |% |G |% |F |% |G |%

People have expectations of a man in your position 2)

|C |% |G |% |Am |% |Em(6)|Em(6)

They want you to carry some torch into the public view

|Am |% |G |% |F |% |G |%

Voyeurs of this world, ignoring your beautiful words 2)

|C |% |G |% |Am |% |Em(6)|Em(6)

Say they want you to survive, but they demand this madness of you

Chorus 1:

Why should you be the one ...

Verse:

I love your music and I love your songs, I love the wild things in your head

I want you here with us, helping us to stick to this mad world

But for so many years now this habit's been forming and so many others have

failed

You made friends with that devil, now he feels a little kinder to face

Chorus 2:

Why should you be the one ...

Verse:

I think of the young ones who make their way home through the night after

one of your shows

Their lives a little richer for having been touched by you

They day dance and they sweat and they call out your name, the exitement

just spills out and flows

You've been singing your guts out, is that not enough to do?

Chorus 1:

Why should you be the one ...

Why should you be the one ...

Why should you be the one ...

|Am |% |C |% |Em (ring... )

Do you really want to be another dead hero?

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^
