C          Am
Rage is a force sometimes
        F
That we all
                                    C
That we all go crying back to misinformed?
                 Am
But it pays us all to forgive
       F
Know that I will always be here
           Am
For you even

          Am                   G#
When I'm gone (Gone from this world)
           C
From this world
                              F
(Deep waters) Deep the waters of the well

Chorus:
      G             C
What do you really want?
Am           F
What do you really need?
                    C          Am F
What do you really want from me?

The swan softly sleeps
She calls reflections down beyond
The willow tree
Do you miss me?
Though, I'm often gone
Know that I will always be here
For you even

When you've gone (Gone from this world)
From this world
(Deep waters) Deep the waters of the well

Chorus:
What do you really want?
What do you really need?
What do you really want from me?
What do you really need?

The pines of the morning star
They call reflections down beyond
The broken hearts
Do you miss me now I've gone?
Know that I will always be there for you
Even though I had to let you go
What do you really want?
What do you really need?
