Intro: B                          E      F#

B                                         E      F#
The Tide is high but I'm  holdin' on,
I'm gonna be your           number one.

B                                  E                      F#
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like
that,                      oh no


It's not the things you do that tease and   hurt me bad,
but it's the way you do the things you      do  to  me,

I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like
that,  oh no

 

The Tide is high but I'm  holdin' on,
I'm gonna be your          number one.

E             F#  (see riff below)
Num  -  ber   one.


Ev'ry girl wants you to          be her man,
but I'll wait my dear, till it's   my turn,

I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like
that,  oh no

The Tide is high but I'm  holdin' on,
I'm gonna be your    number one.

E                    F#        E                   F#
Num  -  ber   one.    Num  -  ber   one.

Instrumental · (same as bridge)

 

Ev'ry girl wants you to be her man,
but I'll wait my dear, till it's my turn,

I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like
that, oh no

The Tide is high but I'm  holdin' on,
I'm gonna be your    number one.

Num  -  ber   one.    Num  -  ber   one.


The tide is high but I'm  holdin' on,
I'm gonna be your  number one.
