  			Rival Sons - Only One (Pressure & Time, 2011) 
Tuning: Half-step down 

The outro is quite tricky, as Scott fiddles around a lot, making it hard to point out  
clear chords. 
Nevertheless, I think that the chords below sound quite fine, although they are not spot-on. 
And now, have fun playing. 


Intro:  E  D  A      x2 

E                  D           A 
  Under the lights,  under the sheets 
E                                       D            A 
  after all our fights, that's where we both want to be 
E                                D                     A 
  You know that I've got my work,  but you've got your needs, 
E                                            D 
  straight back into your arms is where this long road leads 


       A   G      D    A 
       You are my only one, 
       A          G                          D        A 
         and when times get hard I've got to make you see 
       A   G      D    A 
       You are my only one, 
           C               G                C   G  A 
       and that's not even half of what you are to me 


Bridge:  E  D  A     x2 

E                                   D                      A 
  You're trying to keep up our home,  while I'm chasing my dreams 
E                                    D              A 
  I need to hear your voice, but the telephone just rings 
E                           D                     A 
  Another night spent alone,  while I'm up on the stage 
E                        D 
  in some Midwest town refusing to act my age 


       A   G      D    A 
       You are my only one, 
       A          G                          D        A 
         and when times get hard I've got to make you see 
       A   G      D    A 
       You are my only one, 
           C               G                C   G  A 
       and that's not even half of what you are to me 


Outro:  E  G#m  F#/E  G  A     x2 

           E         G#m  F#/E                    G             A 
And it's a long road           that leads me back,  back to you 
         E  G#m  F#/E          A 
My only               Oh-oh-oh Oh~
