A#
When you're lonely life's movin' slow
Gm
And the road you take has nowhere to go
  D#                    F
I'll be the one, be the one
  A#
I'll be the one, be the one

When you're searching and you find someone
Never knowing just what could have begun
I'll be the one, be the one
I'll be the one, be the one

Chorus:
    D#  F                            Gm
And I'm, I'm so in love with how you feel
               F/A
Feel like I'm goin' crazy
        D#
'Cause time
F                       Cm
Is only ever standin' still
                  F
When you're in my arms lately

When you're growing and you reach the heights
But you're still scared of the dark at night
I'll be the one, be the one
Always be the one (Be the one)

And now we're dancing in circles
I'm lost in your eyes
Hoping I'll stay lost for all of my life
So close your eyes, trust in me
'Cause I'll be guiding your way

Chorus

                   A#
'Cause I want your endless summer nights
         Gm
To feel close when it's too cold outside
           D#                         F
And we'll watch the leaves fallin', trees growin'
                Gm
I'll be by your side, yeah, I'll be the one, one

Chorus

When you're older and you're turning gray
And your last breath is slipping away
I'll be the one, be the one
Still be the one, be the one
