[Verse 1]
D/A G6 Asus4
When I was young, I was told I'd find
D/A G6 Asus4
One rich man in ten has a satisfied mind
D/A G6 Asus4 D/A G6 Asus4
And I’m the one
[Verse 2]
D/A G6 Asus4
A hundred to one says I wouldn't react
D/A G6 Asus4
But I'm the one in a hundred who would swing right back
D/A G6 Asus4 D/A G6 Asus4
Yes I’m the one
[Verse 3]
D/A G6 Asus4
Thousands of steps and staircases to climb
D/A G6 Asus4
Thousands of men you'd most likely decline
D/A G6 Asus4 D/A G6 Asus4
And yet I'm the one
[Verse 4]
D/A G6 Asus4
Ten thousand to one, could I possibly bet?
D/A G6 Asus4
I'm compelled by your love and I haven't lost yet
D/A G6 Asus4 D/A G6 Asus4
Clearly you're the one
[Interlude]

[Verse 5]
D/A G6 Asus4
One in a million don't mean what it meant
D/A G6 Asus4
And these millions of gold coins don't gleam when they’re spent
D/A G6 Asus4 D/A G6 Asus4
You’re left with none
[Verse 6]
D/A G6 Asus4
Ten million dollars could win the whole lot
D/A G6 Asus4
But if ten million dollars is all that you got
D/A G6 Asus4 D/A G6 Asus4
You won't be the one
[Verse 7]
D/A G6 Asus4
Hundreds of millions of papers to sign
D/A G6 Asus4
Hundreds of millions of souls left behind
D/A G6 Asus4 D/A G6 Asus4
And yet we’re the ones
[Verse 8]
D/A G6 Asus4
A billion to one, don't the odds make you sick?
D/A G6 Asus4
To be one in a billion's a terrible trick
D/A G6 Asus4 D/A G6 Asus4
You're the wretched one
[Interlude]

When I was young, I was told I'd find
