One thing
  C                 D   C    D
I came out here for one thing
         C            D   C    D
And that little bitty one thing
          C        D    C D
Was to forget about you

      C              D       C     D
But I guess I've learned something
             C            D   C    D
That there's never really one thing
       C              D   C    D
'Cause pretty quickly one thing
 C           D        C        D
Evolves into two, or three, or more

C
For example
D           C            D
See the light in the hallway?
              C
It was always flickering
D          C
Ever since I was little
D
It was always flickering

F                      G
After three days here, it was unbearable
F
My list grew
G
Two, fix the light bulb
    (nc)              D
And one, forget about you

D              C
Drove to town, bought a bulb
D            C     D
One of those new LEDs
               C
Brought it home, put it in
D
But the wires weren't connecting
F                   G
Suddenly, they went on the fritz
F
My list grew
G
Three, rewire the ceiling
G
Two, fix the lightbulb
    (nc)              D
And one, forget about you

D         C
So I went to the attic
D         C
And to my utmost delight
D           C
There it is, black mold
D                      F
Killing us slowly each night

                   G
And I feel it's my duty to remove it
F
My list grew
G
Four, kill the black mold
G
Three, rewire the ceiling
G
Two, fix the lightbulb
    (nc)              D
And one, forget about you

Judith:
             D   C    D
Yeah, but my one thing              [JASE, spoken]
   C                                C
Is really just…                     I'm not done

Jase:
D            C
See the tarp in the hallway?
D                 C       D
That used to be a gallery wall
             C          D
Lots of pictures, super classy
                            F
Sad I had to make the call, but

                G                              D
In scouring for mold, I had to take the place apart
        F                    G
Because sometimes to solve a problem
(nc)                      D
You follow it back to the start

Judith, spoken:
          C
Oh. Who's that?

Jase, spoken:
      D              C            D D D D D D
No one. It just does that when it rains

Jase:
D            C          D             C         D
When I tried to rebuild the wall that I'd taken down
            C          D                       F
I discovered two holes burrowed right into the ground
                      G
And I didn't have the heart to kill 'em
F
So my list grew

          D          C            D              C
But then, the cement that I found to fill in the gaping holes
D            C
Wasn't good, it didn't stick
D                          F
Apparently, cement can get old?!
                 G                            D    C D C
In trying to fix one thing, I made everything worse

F
My list grew
G
Nine, buy new cement
G
Eight, take care of this duck I found
G
Seven, clean out the pipes for the bathroom and the kitchen
G
Six, rebuild the wall
G
Five, keep out the pests
G
Four, kill the black mold
G
Three, rewire the ceiling
G
Two, fix the lightbulb
    (nc)              D
And one, forget about you

Judith:
             F
I think it's lovely
   Am                  Bb
To see you fix up this old house
F                      Am7
Because you want it to be
Bb                F
Nice for your family

    F                      Am7
But I think maybe you're obsessing
     Bb                 F
Over things you can control
             E    (nc)
Hoping to control your feelings for…

Jase, spoken:
D
What?!
D
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no…

Judith:

Jase, spoken:
D
So you came here                           These things needed to get done– okay, okay
D
Looking for one thing                      Just… just… just stop moving towards me. Just stay on
D
And you're saying that one thing           your side of the room, okay? So we can talk this out.
D                   F G
Was to forget about me                     Well, listen… well, listen. If my moms are gonna be-

G              D
Well, all I am asking                      so nice to have me out here and respect my need to be
D
Is for you to do the first thing           alone during this really insane, crazy, impossible time
D
Which could also be the last thing         of my life, the absolute least I can do is, you know, just…
D               F
That you do with me                        Just go around and… and… and… and… and… Destroy their house.

Judth, spoken:
G
After tonight, you'll never hear from me again.
G
If that's what you want.
G
Everything we need to fix our marriage is inside this envelope.
G                  (nc)
I'm asking for one chance

Both:
              D
We'll do this one thing
          F
It is the first thing
G             D
We're doing together
D
Since-

Judith:

Jase:
     F                        G                F                            G
-You left without saying a word             -I found out you were not who I thought you were

Both:
              D
We'll do this one thing
                F    G
It could be the last thing
