Am
Many Prophets preach on bended knees
C
Many clerics wasted wine
          F
Do the bloody sheets and those
cobbled streets mean
G
I have wasted time?

Are there silver shores on paradise?
Can I come in from the cold?
I killed a man in a far away land
My enemy I'm told

Chorus:
Am
I really want you to really want me
But I really don’t know if you can do that
(really want you)
C
I know you want to know what’s right

But I know so hard for you to do that
(really want you)
 F
Time's running out as it often does

And often dictates that you can't do that
(really want you)
 G
Fate can't break this feeling inside
                              C
That's burning up through my veins
C
I really want you
Am
I really want you
Em
I really want you
Dm G
Now...
    F                    G
No matter what I say or do
     C             G         Am
The message isn’t getting through
            F                G
And you’re listening to the sound
                C
Of my breaking heart
C
I really want you
I really want you

Is a poor man rich in solitude?
Or will mother earth complain
Did the beggar pray for a sunny day but
Lady luck for rain
They say a million people bow and scrape
To an effigy of gold
I saw life begin
And the ship we're in
And history unfold
