The Wanted - Only You
Taken from the group's third album Word Of Mouth (Deluxe Edition), great song and quite powerful. If you guys
don't know already, Jay McGuiness a fifth of the group, wrote the song alongside Paddy Dalton and it focuses
on those who struggle with addictions and finding a way out, real meaningful song!
Tuning: Standard
Verse
F G Am C G F
How can I, hold a mirror up to your eyes?
F G Am C G F
speak the way, you can understand what's inside
F G Am
you've been broken down in a thousand different ways
C G F
I've been looking over pictures and you hardly look the same
F G Am
I can see it from a mile that the way you smile has changed
C G F
but you don't know
During the Pre-Chorus which is:
It's hard for me to sit and watch you getting sick
when all I wanna do is try...
I like to play the riff over the top which is something like this:
e|---------------------------------|
b|---------------------------------|
g|---------------------------------|
d|----------------0-0--------------|
a|------0---3-3---------3-0--------|
E|--3------------------------3--1--|
NOTE: listen to the song to figure out when the riff is played over the Pre-Chorus!
Chorus
F G Am C G F
Only you, can dig yourself out just before you break down
F G Am C G F
only you, can lift yourself up just before you get stuck
F G Am
all of this pain spread all over your face
C G F
all I wanna do is help you out of this place
F G Am C G F F
only you, so hurry up now just before you run out of time
G Am C G F
before you run out of time
verse 2
F G Am C G F
Beautiful, that's the only way I see you
F G Am C G F
nobody else, can love you in the way that I do
F G Am
sometimes I get worried that you're taking on too much
C G F
and this crazy world we live in doesn't really give a f**k
F G Am
if only we could paddle to a place where it was just
C G F
you and I
