The One by Meg & Dia
CAPO 1st  Fret 
Verse 1: E-Abm-C#m- A(quiet)
Just go, Just walk away, 
So bittersweet, you're already far away. 
Take with you, our memories 
They're opening, like summer flowers. 
Chorus: E-Abm-C#m-A  
Don't you be fooled 
I loved you more, than I would ever dare tell you, I'd ever dare tell you. 
I'll let you go, I'm only holding you back, 
You're more than a small town, you're more than a small soul. 
Interlude: E(strum)
Verse 2: E-Abm-C#m- A(quiet)
Close those pretty eyes. Don't look behind. 
What did I tell you? That past is past, don't let it follow you. 
Don't think, that by any day....I'll forget your face. 
How could one forget you? 
Chorus: E-Abm-C#m-A  
Don't you be fooled 
I loved you more, than I would ever dare tell you, I'd ever dare tell you. 
I'll let you go, I'm only holding you back, 
You're more than a small town, you're more than a small soul. 
Bridge: F#m-B-E-A  
Hard to let go of something once you get hold of it
Once you get hold of it, ya. 
E-Abm-C#m-A  
Don't you think for a moment, don't you think for a moment yeah
Don't you think for a moment....that you aren't worth all of it.
Chorus: E-Abm-C#m-A  
Don't you be fooled 
I loved you more, than I would ever dare tell you, I'd ever dare tell you. 
I'll let you go, I'm only holding you back, 
You're more than a small town, you're more than a small soul. 
Outro: (strum)
