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