G        D               Em      Bm
Our sad eyes they don't keep me alive
     G        D
Not like they used to
    Em             Bm
Not like they used to

And your cold feet they won't find their way to me
It's not like you want them to
It's not like you want them to

And your big heart, it won't tear me apart
Not like it used to
Not like it used to

Chorus:
     C     G
It's all about
     C     G
It's all about
          Am
What you wanted
               D
Am I what you wanted?

Your cold hands, are they gonna catch me if you can?
It's not like you want them to
It's not like you want them to

And your long legs, they could carry you to me
It's not like you want them to
It's not like you want them to

Chorus

It's all about you, it's all about you
It's always about you, it's always about you
It's all about, it's all about
What you wanted

              Am
Am I what you wanted?
               D
Am I what you wanted?
              Am
Am I what you wanted?
               D
Am I what you wanted?
              Am
Am I what you wanted?
               D
Am I what you wanted?
Oh, my love
