I Always Want What I Can't Have Ukulele chords by Abbey Glover

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Verse 1:
                   Am
Is she better than me
                    C
Is she smart or real pretty
                  Em
Does she make you cry
                          G
does she make you cry with laughter like I did
                           Am
Your conversations must be deep
                             C
Does she hold you in your sleep
                               Em
Does she know you’ll never want her
                                                         G
does she know you’ll never want her like you never wanted me

Chorus:
                   Am
I really wanted you baby
                     C
I still want you real bad
                 Em                                     G
Tried to give you everything tried to make you want me back
                    Am
You’re not ready for someone to hold you down
                       C                         Em
Though with me you’d be flying never on the ground
                                G
Won’t stop trying oh won’t stop trying oh
                                Am
‘Cause life’s better when you’re around
                         C
Life’s better when you’re around
                         Em       G
Life’s better when you’re around me


Verse 2:
          Am
Maybe you thought I didn’t want anything serious with you
      C                                             Em
but I did what I thought did what I thought I had to do
          G
for you to wanna keep me with you
Am                                                 C
What if I said I wanted something more you’d see me differently
                    Em
not wanna see me no more
                    G
not wanna see me no more


Chorus:
                   Am

                     C
I still want you real bad
                 Em                                     G
Tried to give you everything tried to make you want me back
                    Am
You’re not ready for someone to hold you down
                       C                         Em
Though with me you’d be flying never on the ground
                                G
Won’t stop trying oh won’t stop trying oh
                                Am
‘Cause life’s better when you’re around
                         C
Life’s better when you’re around
                         Em       G
Life’s better when you’re around me
