This is the lyrics and chord progression of One Day by Tate McRae on Piano, Guitar, Ukulele and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
Am                              G                       A/D                                             Am
She stares at her ceiling once again, with 100 thoughts. “Maybe he knows who I am?” “actually, probably not”
Am
She walks down the hall with her head down low
G
Scared to meet his eyes
A/D                                                                   Am
Even when she hears his voice, she’s swarmed with butterflies

[Chorus]
C                                             D
It’s impossible to get you off my mind
G                                                                   Am
I think about 100 thoughts and you are 99
C                                             D                                             G                                             Am
I’ve understood that you will never be mine, and that’s fine… I’m just breaking inside

[Verse 2]
Am                                                                   G
He always walks the crowded halls, and is blinded by this light
A/D                                                                                         Am
A girl who keeps her head down low, and never shows her eyes…
Am                                             G
He’s tried to talk to her but there’s no easy way
A/D                                                                   Am
‘Cause everytime he raises his voice, she runs away

[Chorus]

C                                             D
It’s impossible to get you off my mind
G                                                                   Am
I think about 100 thoughts and you are 99
C                                             D                                             G                                             Am
I’ve understood that you will never be mine, and that’s fine… I’m just breaking inside

[Bridge]
C                                             D
And one day, maybe she’ll stay
G                                             Am
And start to head over his way
C                       D                       G                                             Am
And one day, she’ll look into his eyes, and instead of breaking, she’ll call him mine…
C                                             D
One day he’ll grab her by the waist
G
And force them to meet
Am
Face to face
C                                             D
And one day, he’ll look into her eyes
G                                                                   Am
And say that “You’re my only light”

[Chorus]
C                                                                   D
Oh it’s impossible to get you off my mind
G                                             Am
I think about 100 thoughts and you are 99
C                                                                   D
Maybe there’s a chance that you will be mine
G                                             Am
But right now… I’m just broken inside.
