I’m Not the One

Intro:

Ab


Verse 1:
Ab
He was a dream—so good-looking, so talented

Went on a date to the Ritz in Manhattan
Db
To see Men Without Hats—they never showed
               Eb                            Ab
We laughed and called them “Men Without Acts.”

Ab
Back at my place, it felt so right

I wore that silky, maroon, floor length nightgown
  Db
I wanted to bring the drama
                 Eb                    Ab
But he was still kindling another flame

Chorus:
Db                                        Ab
“I’m not the one,” he whispered with ease

It fell on me like a cold, sharp dagger
Gb
Every kiss, just a flicker in time
D             Eb            Ab
A moment that didn’t even matter


Verse 2:
Ab
The night was passionate and sweet

It felt too good to be true

Because, in fact– it WAS.
Db                                   Ab
Lying there, tangled in cool, cotton sheets

He turned and saw right through me


Chorus:
Db                                         Ab
“I’m not the one,” he whispered with ease

And it fell on me like a cold, sharp dagger
Gb
Every kiss, just a flicker in time
Db            Eb            Ab
A moment that didn’t even matter


Bridge:
Db                          Ab
Some truths cut deeper than lies
Db                           Ab
You think you’re both in the moment
Gb
But he read my longing and whispered—
             Db            Ab   Eb
“I’m not the one… It’s not me.”


Chorus:
Db
“I’m not the one,” he whispered again
Ab
And I felt the dagger twist deeper
Gb
Every kiss, just a flicker in time
Db            Eb           Ab
A moment that didn’t even matter
Db
“I’m not the one,” he whispered again
Db            Eb                          Ab
And our story faded; it crumbled and died
