This riff is simplified just for additional guitar accompaniment,
the actual bass develops into a walking bass line from the 3rd

The C6 in brackets are optional and are added by the keyboards,
as are the Cadd9 near the end too.

[Intro]
AE7AE
Oh, my baby, baby, I love you more than I can tell,
AA7DD/A
I don't think I can live with - out you,
AEAE7
And I know that I never will,
AE7AE
Oh, my baby, baby, I want you so, it scares me ...to death,
AA7DD/A
I can't say any - more than 'I love you!',
AGF#mEm *
Everything else is a waste of breath
[Verse 1]
EmGCBEm
I want you! You had your fun, you don't get well no more,
GCBEbm
I want you! Your fingernails go dragging down the wall,
BCB
Be careful, darling, you might fall
[Verse 2]
EmGCBEm
I want you! I woke up, and one of us was crying,
GCBEm
I want you! You said, 'Young man, I do believe you're dying!'
GCB
I want you! If you need a second o - pinion,
Em
As you seem to do, these days,
GCB
I want you! You can look in my eyes,
EbmBCCB
And you can count the ways | /_/ /_/ /_/ /_/ |

[Verse 3]
EmGC (C6) BB7Em
I want you! Did you mean to tell me, but seem to for - get?
GC (C6) BB7Em
I want you! Since when were you so generous, and inar - ticulate?
GC (C6) BB7EmG
I want you, but it's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for,
C (C6) BB7Em
It's the way your shoulders shake, and what they're shaking for,
GC (C6) BB7Em
I want you! It's knowing that he knows you now, after only guessing,
GCB
It's the thought of him un - dressing you,
EbmBCCB
Or... you undressing | /_/ /_/ /_/ /_/ |
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
[Verse 4]
EmGC (C6) BB7Em
I want you! He tossed some tatty compli - ment your way,
GC (C6) BB7
I want you, and you were fool e - nough to love it...

...When he said, ...'I---- want you!'

[Verse 5]
EmGCBEm
I want you! The truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark,
GCBEm
It scares you witless, but, in time, you see things clear and stark,
GCBEm
I want you! Go on, and hurt me, then we'll let it drop,
GCBEm
I want you! I'm afraid I won't know where to stop,
GCBEm
I want you! I'm not ashamed to say, I cried for you
[Verse 6]
GCBEm
I want you! I want to know the things you did, that we do too,
GCBEm
I want you! I want to hear he pleases you more than I do,
GC (C6) BB7Em
I want you! I might as well be useless for all it means to you,
GC (C6) BB7Em
