D#
The guilty undertaker sighs,
Gm
The lonesome organ grinder cries,
CmA#
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
Ab
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
A#
Blow into my face with scorn,
Cm
But itʼs not that way,
A#
I wasnʼt born to lose you.
D#Gm
I want you, I want you,
CmA#
I want you so bad,
D#
Honey, I want you.
D#
The drunken politician leaps
Gm
Upon the street where mothers weep
Cm
And the saviors who are fast asleep,
A#
They wait for you.
Ab
And I wait for them to interrupt
A#
Me drinkinʼ from that broken cup
Cm
And ask me to
A#
Open up the gate for you.
D#Gm
I want you, I want you,
CmA#
I want you so bad,
D#
Honey, I want you.
Gm
Now all my fathers, theyʼve gone down,
Cm
True love theyʼve been without it.
Gm
But all their daughters put me down
AbA#
ʼCause I donʼt think about it.
D#
Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
Gm
And talk with my chambermaid.
Cm
She knows that Iʼm not afraid
A#
To look at her
Ab
She is good to me
A#
And thereʼs nothing she doesnʼt see.
Cm
She knows where Iʼd like to be
A#
But it doesnʼt matter.
D#Gm
I want you, I want you,
CmA#
I want you so bad
D#
Honey, I want you.
D#
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit,
Gm
He spoke to me, I took his flute.
Cm
No, I wasnʼt very cute to him,
A#
Was I?
Ab
But I did it, though, because he lied
A#
Because he took you for a ride
Cm
And because tine was on his side
A#
And because I...
D#Gm
I want you, I want you,
CmA#
I want you so bad
D#
Honey, I want you.
