G               D 
I used to be so down and out 
G               D 
I used to be so blue 
        Am            D 
Now the only thing I talk about 
Am               D 
The only thing I do 
 
G                      D 
Is spin around like a school kid 
G                     D 
Just off the merry-go-round 
       Am                     D 
I'm dizzy but it's 'cause I'm headed 
       Am                   C 
To the one good thing I've found 
 

G            D       C 
One thing as good as gold 
      G     D       C 
I'm nothing without you to hold 
G             D          C 
One thing I know in this world 
   G      D      C 
Is I need you to be my girl 
 
I got so good at hiding 
I couldn't find myself 
But baby you got me smiling 
And feeling like someone else 
 
Yeah you changed my makeup 
I ain't the same old clown 
Ever since you showed up 
Hey this ain't the same sad town 
 
Chorus 
 
One thing as good as gold       
I'm nothing without you to hold 
One thing I know in this world 
Is I need you to be my girl

One thing as good as gold       
I'm nothing without you to hold 
One thing I know in this world 
Is I need you to be my girl 
 
One thing as good as gold       
I'm nothing without you to hold 
One thing I know in this world 
  Em      D       C                              
Is I need you to be my girl   
 
Am         C 
               Be my girl  
G     D                     C 
               You're the one thing  
G     D                     C 
               You're the one thing
