[Verse 1]
A                C#m
When you were a child
        F#                 Bm
I was told you were oh so wild
           D               A
You could make them run a mile
         A/G#                    Bm    D
just to catch a glimpse of that smile
                       C#m
But some things never change
         G                Bm
Now that you have come of age
          D               A
You were blowing center stage
        E5/G#                    G   D
And I'm waiting in the wings for you

[Chorus]
A            A2
To say it's true
     Bm                 Dm
That you were the only one who could love me
A            A2
The way you do
    Bm              Dm
And I was the only one who could help you
A            A2
To break through
      Bm              Dm
From all of the ugly people who tell you
          A            A2
What you can and can't do
Bm        Dm
Say it's true

[Verse 2]
C#m        G              Bm
There are times I'm not myself
        D              A
When I notice someone else
      E5/G#          G         D
And fireworks light up the sky
                  C#m
It changes you inside
         F#            Bm
And you cannot let it slide
              D             A
Well we've always had our pride
         E5/G#         G          D
When we look each other in the eye

[Chorus]
A            A2
And say it's true
     Bm                 Dm
That you were the only one who could love me
A            A2
The way you do
    Bm              Dm
And I was the only one who could help you
A            A2
To break through
      Bm              Dm
From all of the ugly people who tell you
          A            A2
What you can and can't do
Bm        Dm
Say it's true

[Verse 3]
C#m    G         Bm
I keep telling myself
         D            A
I don't want anyone else
   E5/G#               G             D
Despite what my mind tells me sometime
                  C#m
What you want to know
       G               Bm
Where does the laughter go?
        D              A
When I take it on the road
       E5/G#      G          D
And I put it all inside my show

[Chorus]
A            A2
To say it's true
     Bm                 Dm
That you were the only one who could love me
A            A2
The way you do
    Bm              Dm
And I was the only one who could help you
A            A2
To break through
      Bm              Dm
From all of the ugly people who tell you
          A            A2
What you can and can't do
Bm        Dm
Say it's true
A            A2
To say it's true
     Bm                 Dm
That you were the only one who could love me
A            A2
The way you do
    Bm              Dm
And I was the only one who could help you
A            A2
To break through
      Bm              Dm
From all of the ugly people who tell you
          A            A2
What you can and can't do
Bm        Dm
Say it's true
