Capo 1
G D
I used to be so down and out
G D
I used to be so blue
Am D
Now the only thing I talk about
Am D
The only thing I do
G D
Is spin around like a school kid
G D
Just off the merry-go-round
Am D
I'm dizzy but it's 'cause I'm headed
Am C
To the one good thing I've found
[Refrão]G D C
One thing as good as gold
G D C
I'm nothing without you to hold
G D C
One thing I know in this world
G D C
Is I need you to be my girl
I got so good at hiding
I couldn't find myself
But baby you got me smiling
And feeling like someone else
Yeah you changed my makeup
I ain't the same old clown
Ever since you showed up
Hey this ain't the same sad town
Chorus
One thing as good as gold
I'm nothing without you to hold
One thing I know in this world
Is I need you to be my girl
Guitar Solo
One thing as good as gold
I'm nothing without you to hold
One thing I know in this world
Is I need you to be my girl
One thing as good as gold
I'm nothing without you to hold
One thing I know in this world
Em D C
Is I need you to be my girl
Am C
Be my girl
G D C
You're the one thing
G D C
You're the one thing
