One Thing by Jonathan Groff
One Thing
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Jase]
D
One thing
D
I came out here for one thing
D
And that little bitty one thing
D
Was to forget about you
D
But I guess I've learned something
D
That there's never really one thing
D
'Cause pretty quickly one thing
D
Evolves into two, or three, or more
D
For example
D
See the light in the hallway?
D
It was always flickering
D
Ever since I was little
D
It was always flickering
F G
After three days here, it was unbearable
F
My list grew
G
Two, fix the light bulb
G D
And one, forget about you
D
Drove to town, bought a bulb
D
One of those new LEDs
D
Brought it home, put it in
D
But the wires weren't connecting
F G D
Suddenly, they went on the fritz
F
My list grew
G
Three, rewire the ceiling
G
Two, fix the lightbulb
G D
And one, forget about you
D
So I went to the attic
D
And to my utmost delight
D
There it is, black mold
D F
Killing us slowly each night
G
And I feel it's my duty to remove it
F
My list grew
G
Four, kill the black mold
G
Three, rewire the ceiling
G
Two, fix the lightbulb
G D
And one, forget about you
[Judith]
D
Yeah, but my one thing
D
Is really just…
[Jase]
D
I'm not done
D
See the tarp in the hallway?
D
That used to be a gallery wall
D
Lots of pictures, super classy
D
Sad I had to make the call, but
F G D
In scouring for mold, I had to take the place apart
F G
Because sometimes to solve a problem
G D
You follow it back to the start
[Judith]
D
Oh. Who's that?
[Jase]
D
No one. It just does that when it rains
D
When I tried to rebuild the wall that I'd taken down
D
I discovered two holes burrowed right into the ground
D
And I didn't have the heart to kill 'em
F
So my list grew
D
But then, the cement that I found to fill in the gaping holes
D
Wasn't good, it didn't stick
D
Apparently, cement can get old?!
F G D
In trying to fix one thing, I made everything worse
F
My list grew
G
Nine, buy new cement
G
Eight, take care of this duck I found
G
Seven, clean out the pipes for the bathroom and the kitchen
G
Six, rebuild the wall
G
Five, keep out the pests
G
Four, kill the black mold
G
Three, rewire the ceiling
G
Two, fix the lightbulb
G D
And one, forget about you
[Judith]
D F
I think it's lovely
Am A#
To see you fix up this old house
F Am
Because you want it to be
A# F
Nice for your family
Am A#
But I think maybe you're obsessing
F Am
Over things you can control
E
Hoping to control your feelings for…
[Jase]
F
What?!
F
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no…
[Judith] [Jase]
D
So you came here These things needed to get done– okay, okay
D Just… just… just stop moving towards me. Just
stay on your side of the room
Looking for one thing Okay? So we can talk this out
D Well, listen… well, listen
And you're saying that one thing
D
Was to forget about me
D
Well, all I am asking If my moms are gonna be so nice to have me
out here
D And respect my need to be alone during this
really insane
Is for you to do the first thing Crazy, impossible time of my life
D The absolute least I can do is, you know,
just… just go around
Which could also be the last thing And… and… and… and… and… destroy their
house.
D
That you do with me
[Judith]
D
After tonight, you'll never hear from me again.
D
If that's what you want.
D
Everything we need to fix our marriage is inside this envelope.
D
I'm asking for one chance
[Both]
D
We'll do this one thing
D Am
It is the first thing
Am D
We're doing together
D
Since
[Judith] [Jase]
