[Eb] I know the world needs changing.
[Db] I know the shape we're in.
[Cm] But with all the confusion, I've reached the conclusion
[Bbm] there's only one place to [Db] begin.
[Bb] And [Ab] that's one to one, me to you.
[Eb] [Bb] Pure and simple, [Gm] sweet [Cm] and true.
[Ab] One to one, [Gm] you [Cm] to me.
[Fm] Sending the love so [Ab] it's spreading out endlessly.
[Eb] I wanted to talk about the idea that small [Fm] is [Ab] good.
One to one, personal, the real, you know, [Eb] big companies,
big government, big everything.
It's hard for me to handle.
So [Ab] I told this to Cynthia.
And Cynthia came to visit me where
[Eb] I was living, which was [Dm] at the time not [B] too long ago.
No phone, no electricity, no running water
except outside.
And [C] she kind of got into the spirit of what we were living
and trying to just sort of [N] stay with our lives.
And so she wrote parts of this lyric.
And [C] I was like, yes, yes.
And she put it all together.
[G] And she did it with her craft as a great lyricist
to say for me [N] what I couldn't have said myself.
But I was able to say it with the music.
[Bb] [Eb]
[Cm] Usually, the next step after writing a song
is taking it to [Eb] the band.
Mark Holman [F] and I work out some [G] general ideas together.
And I usually know what I want to hear.
But the band surprises me with something extra every time.
[Ab] [Fm] [Bb]
[Eb]
[Cm] [Eb]
[Ab]
[Eb] [Bb] [G] [C] The [Ab] [G] band I'm working with now is a synthesis
of musicians [Ab] I've worked with over the years
and with whom I [G] feel harmonious.
That's probably why it never takes much [Ab]
explanation
to get the feeling of the song across to them.
One to one, me to you, [Bb] pure and simple, [Gm] [Cm] sweet and true.
[G] [C] [Bm]
[Ab] One to one, me to you, [Eb] [Bb] pure and simple, [Gm] [C] sweet and true.
[Ab]
[G] [C] You.
[Fm] Sending the love so it's [Bb] running on endlessly.
[Eb]
[Cm]
We go on the road, those moments when life looks meaning.
We lose our faith in dreams we've been [Bb] dreaming.
[Ab] People seem mindless.
We blame humankind if [Eb] you can [Bb] keep trying.
[G] You [C] gotta keep trying.
[Ab] One to one, me to you, [Bb] pure and simple, [G]
[C] sweet and true.
[Ab] [G] You.
