I really want you (video) (intro)

Am ~

Am

1. Many prophets preach on bended knees,

C

many clerics wasted wine,

F

do the bloody sheets and those troubled streets

- G

mean I have wasted time.

Am

Are there silver shores on paradise ?

C

Can I come in from the cold ?

F - G

I killed a man in a far away land my enemy untold.

Am

I really want you to really want me,

but I really don’t know if you can do that.

C

I know you want to know what’s right,

but I know so hard for you to do that.

F

And time's running out as it often does,

and often dictates that you can't do that

G C

fate can't break this feeling inside that's burning up through my veins.

Am Em Dm G

I really want you, I really want you, I really want you, now.

F G C Em Am

No matter what I say or do, the message isn’t getting through,

F - G C

and you’re listening to the sound of my breaking heart.

C

+ I really want you, I really want you.

C

2. Is a poor man rich in solitude?

Am

Or when mother earth complained,

F

did the beggar pray for a sunny day,

- G

but Lady Luck for rain ?

Am

They say a million people bow and scream,

C

to an effigy of gold

F - G

as so life begin and the ship we're in and history unfold.

+ CHORUS

F G C Em Am

No matter what I say or do, the message isn’t getting through,

F - G C ~ ~

and you’re listening to the sound of my breaking heart.
