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