Melissa Etheridge - I’m the Only One

Originally in G, I play in G but drop an octave on the chorus

Intro

Vox on the 3

Please baby can’t you see, my mind’s a burnin’ hell

Vox mostly on the b3 the rest of the verse

I got razors a rippin’ and tearin’ and strippin’
My heart apart as well
Tonight you told me, that you ache for something new
And some other woman is lookin' like something
That might be good for you

Vox on the 1

Am	D
Go on and hold her till the	screaming is gone

Am	D
Go on believe her when she te	lls you nothing’s wrong

But I’m the only one who’ll

	F	Em
W	alk across the fire for y	ou

And I’m the only one

	F	Em
Who’ll d	rown in my desire for y	ou

	Am
It’s o	nly fear that makes you run

	C
The	demons that you’re hiding from

	F	C
When a	ll your promises are	gone

	G
I’m the only o	ne

Please baby can’t you see I’m trying to explain

I’ve been here before and I’m locking the door
And I'm not going back again
Her eyes and arms and skin won't make it go away
You'll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow
That holds you down today

Am	D
Go on and hold her till the	screaming is gone

Am	D
Go on believe her when she te	lls you nothing’s wrong

But I’m the only one who’ll

	F	Em
W	alk across the fire for y	ou

Who’ll d	rown in my desire for y	ou
