            D            A
I've been alone since I don't know when,
Em                        D A
And I don't need another lover
D                             A
I just don't know if I could fall again,
G
It's been gettin' me down
              D     A
And I never dreamt we could be,
Em                        D           A
Something happened and I can't walk away
D                        A
How could I know I'd get in too deep,
G                     D/F#
I'm not fooling around
Em   A    Em                        A
Hey baby, I'm scared of letting it out

Chorus:
E      A              F#m  B
Ooh, this could be the one (Ooh yeah yeah)
E      A              F#m  B
Ooh, this could be the one,
A
I'm not fooling around

Wherever I go, I think of you,
I can't believe what I am feeling
And how could I know I'd be losing sleep,
I'm not fooling around
Hey baby, we need time to figure this out

Chorus:
Ooh, this could be the one -
the one that I've been waiting for
Ooh, this could be the one -
and I'm not fooling around

F#m            B                  E
I worry if we get too close, you kick my heart
  A
around
F#m                  B                    E
If love is what you need the most, don't tear
             A  B
my feelings down

Em   A    Em                A
Hey baby, I've been hurt before
Em        A     Em                       A
Hey, hey baby, this time I've got to be sure

Chorus:
Ooh, this could be the one -
that I've been waiting for
Ooh, this could be the one -
the one I've been waiting for
Ooh, this could be the one -
this could be, this could be the one
Ooh, this could be the one -
the one that I've been waiting for...
