Only You by Garfunkel and Oates
Intro:
C Em F G7
C Em F
I used to dream that I would be
G7
A bright and shiny star on TV
C Em F
Or maybe I would go to college
G7
Like Harvard or Devry
C Em F
And I would live in an apartment
G7 C
In Paris or in Cincinnati
Em F
And I would play my music loud
G7
And not apologize
C Em F
I used to dream that I would marry
G7 C
A guy that looked like Charlie Sheen
Em
And he would have a name like:
F G7
Gary, Steve, Todd, David!
C Em F
I used to dream I’d have three kids
G7 C
And they would all look just like me
Em F
And I would force them kids to carry
G7
All my groceries.

Em
We don’t need no goals
F
Don’t need human connection
Em
Dreams are overrated
F G7
Cause our life’s already perfection.
C Em F
Now I know all that is true
G7 C
Cause all I really want is you
Em
And you and only you.
F G7
Me? You! Me? You!
C Em F
I used to dream that I would have
G7 C
A best friend named Michelle
Em F G7
And we would braid some friendship bracelets
C Em F G7 C
And we would tell all of those other fucking cunts to go to hell
Em F
And when we’re sixty we’d get face lifts
G7
like Burt Reynolds
C Em F
I used to dream I’d have co-workers
G7 C
And we’d stay out till two at night
Em F
And I would have a perfect body
G7
You do! I know.
C Em F
I used to dream that I’d have sex
G7 C
At some point in my adult life
Em F (n.C.)
And I was sure that it’d be naughty
Like that scene from Top Gun. Take my breath away!
Em
We don’t need no goals
F
Don’t need new man connection
Em
Dreams are overrated
F G7
Cause our life’s already perfection.
C Em F
Now I know all that is true
G7 C
Cause all I really want is you
Em
And you and only you.
F G7
Me? You! Me? You!

You!
