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