[Intro]
Am             F            C
Only You, You, You
Am            F            C
Only You, You, You

[Verse 1]
Am                       F                       C
I remember in the schoolyard
Am                       F                       C
The children didn’t understand
Am                       F                       C
So They bullied Me with silence
Am            F            C
Just for being who I am

[Verse 2]
Am                       F                       C
So I got good at keeping secrets
Am                       F                       C
I used to blend in with the crowds
Am                       F                       C
On the inside I was screaming
Am                       F                       C
With You I didn’t have to hide

[Chorus]
F                       G                       C
Only You, could see that I was hurting
F                                  G                       C
Only You, ever cared to understand
F                                                        G
Always know, that I’d do the same –
Am
I’d do anything for You, My friend
F G C
It’s true..

[Verse 3]
Am                       F                       C
I used to stare up at the ceiling
Am                       F                       C
Wide awake all through the night
Am                       F                       C
While the world was busy sleeping
Am                       F                       C
I was so caught up in My mind

Only You, ever cared to understand

I’d do anything for You, My friend

[Bridge]

Oh, when I’m all alone
F
A million miles away from home
Am                                             G
You’re still with Me, You’ll always be
Dm
My rock and shoulder to lean on
F
When every hope I have is gone
Am                                             G
I’ll turn to You, You know it’s true

[Chorus]
Only You, could see that I was hurting
C
Only You, ever cared to understand

Always know, that I’d do the same –

I’d do anything for You, My friend

It’s true.

So true.

And I know, ’til the bitter end
Am
I’ll be proud to call You, My best friend

It’s true..
