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