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