To Be The One Cifra

Melanie Safka - To Be The One
 
 
CAPO: 5th Fret
 
 
INTRO: C   F Am C   F Am C
 
              F            G       Em    C
The song that kills me, is playing lowly
            F          G           C
Plays in my heart when you turn to go
              F            G             Em   C
Lights dim to black, let’s light candles only
          F        Am   G
It’s only me in an afterglow
 
 
CHORUS:
N.C.          Am               C      G
But to be the one, you turn to in the night
          Am               C      G
To be the one, riding your shadow light
          Am             C      G
To be the one, I would believe again
          Am                C G C
To be the one, I would give anything
 
 
INSTRUMENTAL: F  Am  G   C  F  C
 
 
             F           G           Em     C
I remember a dawn coming through the window
              F            G      C
And the black lines of the window frame
                 F        G       Em      C
And you riding toward the old inn doorway
           F         Am   G
Leading to no more remembering
 
 
CHORUS:
N.C.          Am                 C        G
But to be the one, right in this here and now
          Am                  C       G
To be the one, who could live in your heart
          Am               C       G
To be the one, it would be real to dream
          Am                C G Am
To be the one, I would give anything
 
 
INSTRUMENTAL: G  Dm  F  Am D G   Dm  F G
 
 
BRIDGE:
        C              F
It’s my heart in these words
            G           Em    C
And there’s truth in forever
             F           G       Am
Forever I’ll love you, beyond my time
    C           F        G         Em       C
The body of the song, it goes on a journey
         F          Am            G
Only the singer can breathe it to life
 
 
CHORUS:
N.C.          Am                C        G
But to be the one, sharing your life and breath
          Am                C    G
To be the one, filling your emptiness
         Am                       C          G
One leap toward heaven, please be my song to sing
          Am                C G C
To be the one, I would give anything

To be the one, filling your emptiness
