G         A  D
Here I am again
            G    C 
In this smoky place
          A     B  
With my brandy eyes
    Em       D    G
I'm talking to myself
A            B
You were the one
 Am          D
You were the one

Here I go again looking for your face
And I realize
That I should look for someone else
But you were the one, you were the one

Chorus:
E    E7          Am
I'm looking for comfort
 Am         D  
That I can take
      D      F#7
From someone else
    B7    E
But after all
    E7          Am     Am 
I know there is no one
          D        D    Em
That can save me from myself
 Am          G  D G
You were the only one

Me revoici
Dans ce bar fumé
Avec mes yeux ivres
Je me parle à moi même
Ooh, c'était toi, ooh c'était toi

Me revoici
Cherchant ton visage
Et je realisé
Que je devrais chercher une autre
Ooh, c'était toi, you were the one

Chorus:
Je recherche l'affection
Qu'une autre pourrait me donner
Mais après tout
Je sais qu'il n'y a personne
Personne qui puisse me sauver
Tu étais la seule

Chorus:
I'm looking for comfort
That I can take from someone else
But after all, I know there is no one
That can save me, save me from myself
You were the only one
