I've Wanted You

Intro G Am C G [Verse 1] Am There's this image of you that I can't shake C G That day we drove out to the ocean Am So many things I wanted to say C G But I knew it was all in vain Am Em Life doesn't give you hoops to jump through Am Em It gives you tireless roads to cross Am Em The sadness came over me Am Em So in love, so at loss Chorus F C I've wanted you G For so very long [Verse 2] Am I've been feeling so inbetween things C G Sad and stuckin' alone Am Even when I'm as high as I can get C G I can't forget I'm on my own Am Em Keep thinking I can escape this Am Em But there are no red shoes to tap Am Em Just endless hauling through a desert Am Em And babe there never was a map Chorus F C But I've wanted you G For so very long Em C G Ooh ooh ooh Em C G Ooh ooh ooh [Verse 3] Am All the people I have grown to love C G That I've had to leave behind Am Because that was the way the road turned C G I'm sorry I have let you down Am Em You caught me in a moment Am Em When I was trying to catch the wind Am Em Thought there was some kind of magic Am Em But there's just well-executed tricks Chorus F C I've wanted you G For so very long [Verse 4] Am This is what time does to us C G We try to fight and never win Am There's no plot to follow here C G Just repetition of the same old sin Am Em I keep thinking that I've found it Am Em A way to fill up the empty parts in me Am Em If it's all temporary Am Em I guess I'll have to wait and see {Chorus] F C I've wanted you G For so very long Em C G Ooh ooh ooh Em C G Ooh ooh ooh [Verse 5] Am The woman who lives above me C G I hear her listen to the radio Am She loves the old time stations C G They say "Lover don't let me go" Am Em And I have been there before Am Em In that place of desperate need Am Em I'm not ready to go back there Am Em To wait for someone else to leave Chorus F C But I've wanted you G For so very long [Verse 6] Am Now I'm turnin' all my lights down C G I don't know where you are tonight Am Can feel so close and then so far away C G Within the blinking of an eye Am Em I convince myself I have answers Am Em But I always call my bluff Am Em All I have is my love to give Am Em Some day that might be enough Chorus F C But I've wanted you G For so very long F C I've wanted you G For so very long Em C G Ooh ooh ooh Em C G Ooh ooh ooh Em C G Ooh ooh ooh Em C G Ooh ooh ooh
