I Really Want You by James Blunt






                  I Really Want You 







Tuning: E A D G B E

[Intro]
Am
 
Am
I really want you
I really want you
 
[Verse 1]
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?
Am
Are there silver shores on paradise?
C
Can I come in from the cold?
F
I killed a man in a far away land
G
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
 
That's burning up through my veins...
C
I really want you
Am
I really want you
G
I really want you
F   G
Now...
F                       G
No matter what I say or do
    C            C/B      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
 
[Verse 2]
C
Is a poor man rich in solitude?
Am
Or will mother earth complain?
F
Did the beggar pray for a sunny day but
G
Lady luck for rain?
Am
They say a million people bow and scrape
C
To an effigy of gold
      F
I saw life begin, in the ship we're in
   G
And history unfold
 
[Back to Chorus]
 
C
I really want you
I really want you
I really want you

Standard Tuning
 
Capo on 2nd
 
Intro
G Bm Em D
 
 
G
The guilty undertaker sighs,
    Bm
The lonesome organ grinder cries,
    Em                            D
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
    C
The cracked bells and washed-out horns 
D
Blow into my face with scorn,
         Em
But it's not that way,
                 D
I wasn't born to lose you.
  G           Bm
I want you, I want you,
  Em          D
I want you so bad,
              G
Honey, I want you.
 
    G
The drunken politician leaps
 Bm
Upon the street where mothers weep
        Em
And the saviors who are fast asleep,
    D
They wait for you.
      C
And I wait for them to interrupt
D
Me drinkin' from that broken cup
    Em
And ask me to
            D
Open up the gate for you.
  G           Bm
I want you, I want you,
  Em          D
I want you so bad,
              G
Honey, I want you. 
 
    Bm
Now all my fathers, they've gone down,
Em
True love they've been without it.
    Bm
But all their daughters put me down
       C                D
Cause I don't think about it.
 
G
Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
    Bm
And talk with my chambermaid.
Em
She knows that I'm not afraid
   D
To look at her
C
She is good to me
D
And there's nothing she doesn't see.
    Em
She knows where I'd like to be
D
But it doesn't matter.
  G           Bm
I want you, I want you,
  Em          D
I want you so bad
         G
Honey, I want you.
