(Verse 1)
G#m                H   ECall me, call me by my name or
          H   C#mcall me by my number
H                  EPut me through it
                           F#I'll still be doing it the way I do it
Hm                   D     GAnd yet you try to make me forget
      D      EmWho I really am
      D                Gdon't tell me I'd know best
            A               HI'm not the same as all the rest


(Chorus)
H        F#      G#m    EI am the one and only
   G#m      F#     HNo body I'd rather be
         F#      G#m    EI am the one and only
               G#m   F#       H   AYou can't take that away from me

G#m                 H     EI've been a player in the crowd scene
            H    C#mA flicker on the big screen
H                 EMy soul embraces
              F#one more in a million faces
Hm                 D        GHigh hopes and aspirations, ideas
            D     Emabove my station, maybe
    D               Gbut all this time I tried
             A           Hto walk with dignity and pride


(Chorus)
H        F#      G#m    EI am the one and only
   G#m      F#     HNo body I'd rather be
         F#      G#m    EI am the one and only
               G#m   F#       H   AYou can't take that away from me


(Bridge)
A  I can't wear this uniform
F#m  Without some compromises
G  Because you'll find out that we come
Em  In different shapes and sizes


(Short Verse 3)
Am              C         FNo one can be myself like I can
              C      DmFor this job I'm the best man
     C               FAnd while this maybe true,
            G            Ayou are the one and only you!
