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

version 2
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.
