[G] 25 years of my life and still
[Am] Trying to get up that great big hill of [C] hope.... for a desti[G]nation
You’re the One that I Want - Grease
Intro: [Am]
[Verse 1]
I got [Am] chills... they’re multiplying
And I’m [F] losing [C] control
Cos the [E7] power... you’re supp[Am]lying
It’s electrifying ... ...
You better shape [C] up... cos I [G] need a man
[Am] And my heart is set on [F] you
You better shape [C] up... you better [G] understand
[Am] To my heart I must be [F] true
Nothing left, nothing left for me to do
|[Chorus]
|You’re the [C] one that I want (you are the one I want) Oo-oo-[F]oo honey
|The [C] one that I want (you are the one that I want) Oo-oo-[F]oo honey
|The [C] one that I want (you are the one that I want) Oo-oo-[F]oo honey
|The one I [G] need... oh yes [G7] indeed
Instrumental:
[Am]
[Verse 2]
[Am] If you’re [Am] filled... with affection
You’re too [F] shy to [C] convey
Meditate [E7] in my [Am] direction
Feel your way ... ...
I better shape [C] up... cos you [G] need a man
[Am] Who can keep you [F] satisfied
I better shape [C] up... if I’m [G] gonna prove
[Am] That my faith is [F] justified
Are you sure? Yes I’m sure down deep inside
|Chorus:
|You’re the [C] one that I want (you are the one I want) Oo-oo-[F]oo honey
|The [C] one that I want (you are the one that I want) Oo-oo-[F]oo honey
|The [C] one that I want (you are the one that I want) Oo-oo-[F]oo honey
|The one I [G] need... oh yes [G7] indeed
|Chorus:
|You’re the [C] one that I want (you are the one I want) Oo-oo-[F]oo honey
|The [C] one that I want (you are the one that I want) Oo-oo-[F]oo honey
|The [C] one that I want (you are the one that I want) Oo-oo-[F]oo honey
|The one I [G] need... oh yes [G7] indeed
