INTRO: 
D A Em D A 
D A G 
 
 
verse 1 
 
           D             A 
I've been alone since I don't know when, 
Em                        A 
And I don't need another lover 
D                             A 
I just don't know if I could follow again, 
G 
It's been gettin' me down 
              D     A 
And I never dreamt we could be,  
Em                        G          A 
Something happened and I can't walk away 
D                        A 
How could I know I'd get in too deep,  
G                       G G/F# 
I'm not fooling around 
Em   A    Em                       A 
Hey baby, I'm scared of letting it out 
 
 
E     A                F#m    B 
Ooh, this could be the one  (Ooh yeah yeah) 
E     A                F#m    B 
Ooh, this could be the one,  
A 
I'm not fooling around 
 
verse 2 
 
           D      A 
Wherever I go, I think of you,  
Em                        G     A 
I can't believe what I am feeling 
D                            A 
And how could I know I'd be losing sleep,  
G                     G G/F# 
I'm not fooling around 
Em   A    Em                          A 
Hey baby, we need time to figure this out 
 
 
E     A                F#m       B 
Ooh, this could be the one, the one that I've been waiting for 
E     A                F#m   B 
Ooh, this could be the one  
A 
And I'm not fooling around 
 
BRIDGE 
 
F#m            B                  E             A  
I worry if we get too close, you kick my heart around 
F#m                  B                    E                A   B  
If love is what you need the most, don't tear my feelings down 
 
SOLO 
D A E A 
D A G G/F# 
 
Em   A    Em                A 
Hey baby, I've been hurt before 
Em        A    Em                        A 
Hey, hey baby, this time I've got to be sure 
 
 
E     A                F#m    B 
Ooh, this could be the one - that I've been waiting for 
E     A                F#m    B 
Ooh, this could be the one (yeah) - the one I've been waiting for 
E     A                F#m    B 
Ooh, this could be the one - this could be, this could be the one 
E     A                F#m       B 
Ooh, this could be the one - the one that I've been waiting for...
