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