                Bm A                 E  D
Is it getting better? Is it getting worse?
         Bm                        A                 E
Oh, you can't ever know what it's worth if it don't hurt
Am I falling forward? Am I in reverse?
Oh, you can't ever know where to turn when the line’s blurred

Mmh, and I believe
I remember that taste with your hand on my face
So leave
And show me the way

Chorus:
Bm      A                   E        D
All my life I looked for deliverance
Bm          A                      E
And all my nights I prayed for forgiveness
All my love just for deliverance
And heaven knows you might
Be the one, be the one, be the one to deliver it
And heaven knows you might
Be the one, be the one, be the one, my deliverance

I could wait forever, I could wait a day
No, you won't ever get what you want if you don't say, say, say

Say, please, what if I self-destruct
And my world turns to dust? (Yeah)
Release, I need only one touch

Chorus

Be the one, be the one, be the one, be the one
Be the one, be the one, be the one, be the one
Be the one, be the one, be the one, my deliverance
Deliverance, oh
Be the one, be the one, be the one, be the one (Release)
Be the one, be the one, be the one, be the one (Release)
Be the one, be the one, be the one, my deliverance (Release)
Release...
Could you be the one?
All my life I looked for deliverance, oh

Chorus:
And all my life I looked for deliverance (yeah)
And all my nights I prayed for forgiveness (oh)
All my love just for deliverance
And heaven knows you might
Be the one, be the one, be the one to deliver it
And heaven knows you might
Be the one, be the one, be the one, my deliverance
