        G#                         D#
Girl I see it in your eyes you're disappointed
Fm                          C#            G#        D#
'Cause I'm the foolish one that anointed with your heart
Fm         C#
I tore it apart
                 G#          D#
And girl what a mess I made upon your innocence
Fm                   C#
And no woman in the world deserves this
G#            D#             Fm        C#
But here I am asking you for one more chance

        G# D#          Fm C#
Can we fall, one more time?
           G# D#    Fm C#
Stop the tape and rewind
               G#          D#
Oh and if you walk away I know I'll fade
                 Fm    C#
'Cause there is nobody else

Chorus:
               G# D# Fm C#
It's gotta be you
      G# D# Fm C#
Only you
               G# D# Fm C#
It's gotta be you
      G# D# Fm C#
Only you

Now, girl, I hear it in your voice and how it trembles
When you speak to me, I don't resemble who I was
You've almost had enough
And your actions speak louder than words
And you're about to break from all you've heard
But don't be scared, I ain't going nowhere

I'll be here, by your side
No more fears (no more fears),
no more crying (no more crying)
But if you walk away, I know I'll fade
'Cause there is nobody else

Chorus

                  G#          D#
Oh girl, can we try one more, one more time?
Fm        C#
One more, one more, can we try?
G#        D#
One more, one more time
Fm           C#
I'll make it better
G#        D#
One more, one more, can we try?
Fm        C#
One more, one more
           G#       D#      Fm          C#
Can we try one more time to make it all better?

Chorus:
'Cause it's gotta be you
It's gotta be you
Only you, only you
It's gotta be you, only you
It's gotta be you, oh, only you
