F#m The last time that I saw her E Was the night she said goodbye B She said that love's a stranger E And it's sure to pass you by (yes, she did) F#m As she packed up her belongings A E Baby wouldn't look me in the eye B But I could see a tear roll off her face A B As we both tried so hard not to cry, she said Chorus: E B I never wanted the stars, C#m I never shot for the moon B B/D# E A B I like them right where they are, all I wanted was you E B C#m So baby just turn away, because I can't face the truth B B/D# E A E All I'm trying to say, is all I wanted was you I tried so hard to remember Where when how why love went away I tried to drown myself in pity But your memory kept calling your name, yes it did I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings All the things that my money brings And the servants to paint the skies blue And I worked so hard seven days a week Built a fortress for your heart to keep If I could I'd wrap these words up for you Chorus C#m A C#m B G#m B/F# C#m I want you, I want you, baby, I want you. A But never thought you were alone F#m I filled the party up with company B7 C#m B G#m B/F# But never made our house a home E C#m All I got is my guitar, these chords and the truth A B7 All I got is my guitar but all I want, baby all I want Chorus I want you, I want you, baby, I want you. I want you, I want you, baby, I want you. I want you, I want you, baby, I want you. I want you, I want you, baby, I want you.
