D                     A
Every morning when I woke up
       F#m
I was stoked up
       E
I was leaving without a purpose
D                       A
Always jumping all the hurdles
       F#m
Doing circles
        E
In the dark with a broken compass

Bm          E               A
I can't explain the way it feels
        F#m            Bm
I could trip on my own words
           E                    A
I make mistakes, that much is clear
      F#m              Bm
But I made it here my love
        D               A
Yeah I made it here my love

Chorus:
           E                         F#m
You're the one thing that I got right
                    D
It's a big ol' world (yeah, it's a big ol' world)
A             E                     F#m
You turn the darkness into sun light
                D
I'm a lucky girl (yeah, I'm a lucky girl)
A         E                       F#m
And if I mess up everything someday
         D                A
I would hide my head in shame
                 E                    F#m  D
Cause you're the one thing that I got right

A     E     F#m
Right, right
D
One thing I got right
A     E     F#m
Right, right
D
One thing I got right

Every morning when you wake up
I wanna hold you
I just need to be wrapped around you
It's kinda funny when you think that
You just got here
Now I know I can't live without you

I can't explain the way it feels
I could choke on my own words
Sometimes it seems like it ain't real
Like you're really here, my love
Yeah, you're really here, my love

Chorus:
You are the one thing that I got right
It's a fickle world, yeah, it's a fickle world
You turn the darkness into sunlight
I'm a lucky girl, yeah, I'm a lucky girl
And if I mess up everything someday
I won't hide my head in shame
'Cause you re the one thing that
I got right (In my head, yeah)
Right, right, right (In my head, yeah)

A
Everytime I see your smile
E
Everytime I hear your laugh
F#m                    D
Baby you bring in new sunshine over now
A
You are the little dream
E
Ever since I was a child
F#m                  D                       A
My fairytale comes true when I look at your face
A        E
May not be here forever
F#m             D
But it'll be a long road together
A           E
I already know
                Bm
We're gonna be fine, fine, fine
                Dm
We're gonna be just fine, fine, fine

Chorus:
You are the one thing that I got right (Hey)
It's a fickle world, yeah, it's a fickle world
You turn the darkness into sunlight (Hey)
I'm a lucky girl, yeah, I'm a lucky girl
And if I mess up everything someday
I won't hide my head in shame
'Cause you're the one thing that I got right
You are one thing I got right
If I mess up everything someday
I won't hide my head in shame
'Cause you are the one thing that I got right
'Cause you are the one thing that I got right

(I, I, I) One thing I got right
(I, I, I) One thing I got right
