All I Ever Wanted

capo 2 Intro : F Dm Am x3 F Dm Am i can only say these things to you while you’re sleeping . F Dm Am i hear the the hum from the wires , the sounds of the morning creeping . F Dm Am i lie awake and pretend you can hear me . F Dm Am x2 F Dm Am you tell that you’re scared , that you’re turning into your mother , F Dm Am i feel myself turn into my father . F Dm Am we could lie to each other like they do and say we’re still happy F Dm Am it’s easy when you’re young and you still want it so badly . Dm C A# and i feel my heart pounding Dm C A# and i think i might scream F C i can tell you that you’re all i ever wanted , dear Dm A# i can utter every word you’d ever hope to hear F C Dm i shudder when i think that i might not be here forever , forever , forever . F Dm Am x2 F Dm Am at night you whisper like a ghost and you look so shaken F Dm Am you’re so quiet and small and you tell me you want to be taken . F Dm Am i just never think of you as the kind of girl who would say that . F Dm Am you suddenly seem like some faceless thing in my grasp . Dm C A# with your eyes so wide , your face aglow Dm C A# its the face of someone i don’t know . F C i can tell you that you’re all i ever wanted , dear Dm A# i can utter every word you’d ever hope to hear F C Dm i shudder when i think that i might not be here forever , forever , forever . F Dm Am x7 Dm C A# and all i could think is that it must be a kind of rebellion . Dm C A# to arm your fears like soldiers and slay them . F C i can tell you that you’re all i ever wanted , dear Dm A# through the din of your breathing while you’re sleeping here . F C Dm you wake and ask me if i’m going to be here forever , forever , forever . F C your face so twisted and your eyes alight Dm A# i want to tell you i can change it when you cry at night F C Dm but i’d be lying . F C Dm love is defying . end on F
