C            D7
I saw you last evening
     Dm7         C
In a shop on the King's Road
   C                D7
Looking through the window
     Dm7                C
Just as it was going to close
    Gm7      F
Our eyes met for an instant
     D7            G/D
And, then you were gone
    C                                  D7
And all that evening I couldn't stop myself from thinking:
        Dm7    G/D
"Well...           Oh, were you The One?"

[Chorus]

C    G  F    C                     Am
          We keep on searching, despite ourselves
            Fm
Thinking we will find somewhere in the world
     E
That someone who will be The One
    F                G
Are you The One? Are you The One?  - oh!
    C                   Am
Our eyes will meet in a crowded room
      Fm
And a bell will ring, and our hearts 'll go "boom!"
        E
And the future will reveal itself
          F                 G
And we'll never need for no-one else

[Verse 2]

    C                       D7
You sat next to me in the cinema
           Dm7            C
You walked past me in the snow
  C                    D7
I kissed you once by a cigarette-machine
       Dm7                C
As the club was about to close
    Gm7                  F
But each time you looked different:
                D7                 G/D
Your face, your body and your hair
     C                   D7                Dm7
I've collected you in installments for sometime now
G/D
   Over years and years

[Chorus]

C    G  F     C                     Am
     Yeah, we keep on searching, despite ourselves
            Fm
Thinking we will find somewhere in the world
     E
That someone who will be The One
    F                G
Are you The One? Are you The One? - oh!
    C                   Am
Our eyes will meet in a crowded room
      Fm
And a bell will ring, and our hearts 'll go "boom!"
        E
And the future will reveal itself
          F                 G             C
And we'll never need for no-one, no-one else

[Bridge]

  E                     F
I don't know who I'm fooling
      C
But I guess it gives me something to do, something to do
     E                     F
It's been going on so long now
    Am                                          G
Well, how am I ever gonna know if it's really you? - oh, yeah!

Our eyes will meet in a crowded room

And a bell will ring, and our hearts 'll go "boom!"

And the future will reveal itself
          F                 G             C
And we'll never need for no-one, no-one else
