Verse
G
The guilty undertaker sighs,
Bm
The lonesome organ grinder cries,
Em D
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
C
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
D
Blow into my face with scorn,
Em
But it's not that way,
D
I wasn't born to lose you.
[Chorus]
G Bm
I want you, I want you,
Em D
I want you so bad,
G
Honey, I want you.
[Verse]
G
The drunken politician leaps
Bm
Upon the street where mothers weep
Em
And the saviors who are fast asleep,
D
They wait for you.
C
And I wait for them to interrupt
D
Me drinkin' from that broken cup
Em
And ask me to
D
Open up the gate for you.
[Chorus]
G Bm
I want you, I want you,
Em D
I want you so bad,
G
Honey, I want you.
[Bridge]
Bm
Now all my fathers, they've gone down,
Em
True love they've been without it.
Bm
But all their daughters put me down
C D
'Cause I don't think about it.
[Verse]
G
Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
Bm
And talk with my chambermaid.
Em
She knows that I'm not afraid
D
To look at her
C
She is good to me
D
And there's nothing she doesn't see.
Em
She knows where I'd like to be
D
But it doesn't matter.
[Chorus]
G Bm
I want you, I want you,
Em D
I want you so bad
G
Honey, I want you.
[Verse]
G
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit,
Bm
He spoke to me, I took his flute.
Em
No, I wasn't very cute to him,
D
Was I?
C
But I did it, though, because he lied
D
Because he took you for a ride
Em
And because tine was on his side
D
And because I...
[Chorus]
G Bm
I want you, I want you,
Em D
I want you so bad
G
Honey, I want you.
