When You Find The One

Melissa Etheridge

Text File

This is my first time doing this--there are bound to be plenty of mistakes, but here it is.
Chords used:  G C D 


 G                C
I was a slick mid-western gal
        G                   C 
on a long, hard road into southern Cal
G            
Couldn't find any crime
          C
in filling up all my time
           G
I had the devil in my bones
        C
and an angel on my mind

Bridge:
       D
And I drank up all the movies
       C
and I searched for happy endings
    D
I turned love inside out
              C
'till I was perfectly pretending
D                             C
Still I believed it could be true

Chorus:
           D       G
When you find the one
            D        C         G 
there's no questioning the silence
         D        G
all is said and done
                   C      
when you find the one

when you find the one

G  C  G  C

Verse Two:
           G              
You could say that I was crazy
         C
I was that kind of girl
          G 
I had to open up alot of oysters
          C  
before I found myself a pearl
          G         
I had to kiss alot of frogs
            C
to find my grass was green enough
            G
Had to be face down in the gutter
            C
to see what is and isn't love

Bridge two:
         D
then I woke from all the dreaming 
         C
to your taste and to your laughter
   D
I cried 'till I was dry 
           C
and now I live my ever-after
D                   C  
I believe I always knew

Chorus Two:
          D        G 
When you find the one
            D       C         G
there's no questioning the silence
        D         G  
all is said and done
                   C
when you find the one
             D           G
and when you make the choice
        D        G    C   
to believe in your existence 
       C                     C
with hello, you will know....
                      G 
when you find the one

G  C  G  C

        G                C          G               C
I believed it could be true, I believe, I always knew (2x)

Repeat Chorus two to end (1x)

G  C

       G                C
With hello, you will know...


And that's it (I hope, sort of) email me if you want to tell me exactly how it goes.
I know that she doesn't strum all the way through, but that's the only way I could play it.
