We used to chase that boy home from school
Am Am/G
called him freckled faced, red headed fool
F F/E F G
he was different, he wasn't cool like me
C Bsus
sticks and stones did'nt break any bones
Am Am/G
but we never let well enough alone
F F/E F G
and one day he ran away from home yousee
Am F
and I passed him as he walked away
Am G
and in his eyes I heard him say
C G F
One of these days your gonna love me
F G
you'll sit down by yourself and think
C G F
about the times you pushed and shoved me
F G
and what good friends we might have been
Am F
then your gonna sigh a little
Am F
and maybe even cry a little but
F C
one of these days you're gonna love me

Patty Sue was a small town beauty
Am Am/G
I took one look and had to pull her to me
F F/E
lord knows she should've seen right through me
F G
when I promised her the world
C Bsus
but at seventeen you only want one thing
Am Am/G
I left her standing with my high school ring
F F/E
innocent tears in the pourin rain as I walked
G Am F
away , and I still see her in my dreams
Am G
and to this day she's whispering
C G F
One of these days your gonna love me
F G
You'll sit down by yourself and think
C G F
about the time you turned from me
F G
and what good friends we might have been
Am F
then your gonna sigh a little
Am F
and maybe even cry a little but
F C
one of these days you're gonna love me
Am
Now everybody stands up
F
the congregation sings
C
a song of sweet forgiveness
F G
and as the chorus rings
Am
the wind blows clear my memories
F
the pages start to turn
C
and suddenly I'm singing
F G
the moment that I learned
C G F
One of these days I'm gonna love me
F G
and feel the joy of sweet release
C G F
one of these days I'll rise above me
F G
and at last I'll find some peace
Am F
then I'm gonna smile a little
Am F
and maybe even laugh a little but
F C
one of these days I'm gonna love me
