Rachael Yamagata (born on September 23, 1977 in Arlington, Virginia) is a singer-songwriter. She plays piano and acoustic guitar, and her dark, smokey alto garners frequent comparisons to Fiona Apple. Her first full-length album, Happenstance, was released on June 8, 2004.
Yamagata became the vocalist for the Chicago funk-fusion band Bumpus, spending six years with them while writing and recording three albums and touring the country. However, she began to write songs which took on a style that conflicted with the funk vision of the band.

(Same Chords) You simplified me down to slogans on the wall I took offense, but you were right about them all My friends are telling me I shouldn't waste my time But I can't concentrate until I make you mine I'm drawing cards and making wishes down by the well Who would've known I'd lose myself in that old hotel
I want you Or no one No one else for me You, or no one 'Cause no one else is strong enough, strong enough To slow me down in time to set me free
(Chorus again- Same Chords) I want you Or no one else No one else is fine Oh, you, or no one No one is the only one To fill me up until I make you mine
