       DmAmG
Intro:       
       Dm  Am  G  E
Am            D
One time, to know that it's real
Am            D
One time, to know how it feels
        G    E
That's all
Am             D
One call your voice on the phone
Am           D
One place a moment alone
        G    E
That's all
C                             Em
What do you see, what do you know?
                     F
One sign, what do we do?
                 C   G      Am
Just follow your lifelines through
C                       Em
What if it hurts, what then?
                       F
One sign, what do you say?
                  C   G        Dm   Am  G
Don't throw your lifelines away
                               Dm   Am  G  E
Don't throw your lifelines away
Am              D
One time, just once in my life
Am           D                     G  E
One time to know it can happen twice
Am              D
One-shot on a clear blue sky
Am           D                      G  E
One look, I see no reason why we can't
C                 Am           D
One chance to get back to the point where 
G   D        C
everything starts
C             Am        D
One chance to keep it together 
G       D         Em
when things fall apart
Am        D                    Em   E
One sign make us believe it's true
C                            Em
What do you see, where do we go?
                     F
One sign, how do we grow?
                 C   G     Am
By letting your lifeline show.
C                    Em
What if we do, what now?
                           F
What do you say, how do I know?
                  C   G        Dm   Am  G
Don't let your lifeline go.
                               Dm   Am  G  E
Don't let your lifeline go.
