CNow I Emknow all that is Ftrue
Cause G7all I really want is yCou
And you and Emonly you.
FMe? You! G7Me? You!

Only You by Garfunkel and Oates

Intro:

C Em F G7

C Em F

I used to dream that I would be

A bright and shiny star on TV

C Em F

Or maybe I would go to college

Like Harvard or Devry

C Em F

And I would live in an apartment

G7 C

In Paris or in Cincinnati

Em F

And I would play my music loud

And not apologize

C Em F

I used to dream that I would marry

G7 C

A guy that looked like Charlie Sheen

And he would have a name like:

F G7

Gary, Steve, Todd, David!

C Em F

I used to dream I’d have three kids

G7 C

And they would all look just like me

Em F

And I would force them kids to carry

All my groceries.

We don’t need no goals

Don’t need human connection

Dreams are overrated

Cause our life’s already perfection.

I used to dream that I would have

A best friend named Michelle

And when we’re sixty we’d get face lifts

like Burt Reynolds

I used to dream I’d have co-workers

G7 C

And we’d stay out till two at night

Em F

And I would have a perfect body

You do! I know.

C Em F

I used to dream that I’d have sex

G7 C

At some point in my adult life

Em F C

(n..)

And I was sure that it’d be naughty

Like that scene from Top Gun. Take my breath away!

We don’t need no goals

Don’t need new man connection

Dreams are overrated

Cause our life’s already perfection.

C Em F

Now I know all that is true

G7 C

Cause all I really want is you

And you and only you.
