Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I am the one and only,
 Oh yeah!
 (Verse 1)
Call  me, call me by  my name  or
 call me by  my number
Put  me through it
 I'll still be doing it the way  I do it
And  yet you try to make  me forget
 Who I really am
 don't tell  me I'd know best
 I'm not the same  as all the rest
 (Chorus)
I  am the one  and only
 No body  I'd rather be
 I am the one  and only
 You can't take that  away  from me
 (Verse 2)
I've  been a player in  the crowd  scene
 A flicker on  the big  screen
My  soul embraces
 one more in a million  faces
High  hopes and aspirations, ideas
 above my station, maybe
 but all  this time I tried
 to walk with dignity  and pride
 (Chorus)
I  am the one  and only
 No body  I'd rather be
 I am the one  and only
 You can't take that  away  from me
 (Bridge)
 I can't wear this uniform
 Without some compromises
 Because you'll find out that we come
 In different shapes and sizes
 (Short Verse 3)
No  one can be myself  like I  can
 For this job I'm  the best  man
 And while  this maybe true,
 you are the one  and only you!
 (Guitar solo, or Chorus in A)
I  am the one  and only
 No body  I'd rather be
 I am the one  and only
 You can't take that  away  from me
 (Chorus)
I  am the one  and only
 No body  I'd rather be
 I am the one  and only
 You can't take that  away  from me
 (Chorus)
I  am the one  and only
 No body  I'd rather be
 I am the one  and only
 You can't take that  away  from me
