The Only One by Manchester Orchestra
The Only One
There's a riff in the song where they slide the C chord up and down. I marked
that with C*. You can just play a regular C chord there if you want. If you
want to do the slide, I think they just slide up 3 frets.
Capo 1st fret
C
C F
I am the only one that thinks I'm going crazy
C
And I don't know what to do
C F
I am the only son of a pastor I know
C
who does the things I do
G Am F C
But if it was you I don't think that it would matter
G Am F C
Oh and if it was true then I just wouldn't matter
C F
I was amazed at the color and shapes that you drew
C
A paper cut for two
C F
I am the only son of a bastard I know
C
Who knows the bastard too
G Am F C
Because it was you I called it a different story
G Am F C
But if I was you I'd make this a simpler story
G
I bet you did what you did when you did it
F
To do it again by the time you were done with it
C*
G
I bet you did what you did when you did
F
Just to tell every friend that you had that the Lord did it
C*
C*
G Am F C
I finally knew that I simply couldn't matter
G Am F C
You finally knew that you simply couldn't matter
G
I guess that it's true you never knew
F C
The passive power of the truth so cut me loose
G
If I could write another phrase
F
We might be better off this way
C
But there's no use
C
No there's no use
C* x 5

version 2
Tuning:Drop C#
This is kinda of the way Andy Hull plays this song live. Every time i've
seen them play it, its just Andy playing till the very end of the song
where it turns into a break down with the whole band.
You can play C# as 000xxx or 12 12 12 x x x. The album version plays on the
12th fret most the time, but live he usually just plays it open.
I am the only one... crazy and ... what to do
