Intro: G F  G  Bb 

verse 1 

     C 
Only one life 
            F 
Just a tiny spark 
G            Am 
But now that he is gone 
Em                   F 
I'm somewhere in the dark 
G 
If there are ten Billion men 
                Bb 
On this planet, tell me then 


               F   G 
how could only one life 
Em           Am          Dm 
Leave such a mark on me? 
    G     F                C       
One life, how could I have known? 
F    G   Em              Am         
One life could be such a part of me 
F  G              F 
as precious as my own 
G     C        Bb 
Only one life 

verse 2 

     C                   F        Dm7 
Only one life, what does it mean? 
          Am 
It's only birth and death 
    Em         F 
And everything between 
   G           Em 
If livin' is a pointless chore 
                Bb 
Just existence, nothing more 


C              F   G 
Why does only one life 
Em            Am           Dm7 
Leave such an empty space? 
     G    F                C      
One life, make it right or wrong 
F    G    Em            Am      G      F 
One life, take the love I can't replace 
     G             F   G        C       D C G# 
That always will belong to only one life 

Bridge 

     Bb      D# 
Just another soul among so many 
       A                   D 
So who cares if one should fall? 
B                  E 
Though we're small we're full of magic when we 
C                Bb 
Touch the world,    we change it all 
 G   G7        C      F  G  Am  Em  F 
With only one life 

Pre-Chorus 

             G 
We only have one chance to find 
          Bb             C 
But if we live it right 


               F    Em            Am 
All we need is one life to make a difference here 
F   G                       C 
One life, it's such a small amount 
F   G       Em              Am      G   F      
One life to say we care, to make it clear  
    G              F      G               Am   
We have to make it count,    once and for all 
G       F         Am  F    
   With only one life
