Tell me how long must I keep
A7(sus4) DMaj7 A7(sus4)
wanting things,
E minor 7Em7 A7(sus4) DMaj9
Needing things, when I have so much.
Bm9Bm9 Bm7Bm7 C#m7C#m7
There are many men (girls)
F#7(#5) BMaj7
who have much less than me,
Bm7Bm7 E9(sus4) E13(b9)
Day by day they make their way.
AMaj7 A major 6A6 A7A7
And they find more in life than I can see.
E minor 7Em7 A7(b9)
Tell me
DMaj7 A7(sus4) DMaj7
when will I learn to resist
A7(sus4) DMaj7 A7(sus4)
wanting things,
E minor 7Em7 A9A9 A7(b9) DMaj9
Touching things that say "do not touch
Bm9Bm9 Bm7Bm7 C#m7C#m7 F#7(#5) BMaj7
People that I meet seem to think I am strong,
Bm7Bm7 E9(sus4) E13(b9)
They don't see inside of me.

So they don't know I'm weak and often wrong.

Tell me,
DMaj7 E minor 7Em7 F#m7F#m7 B7(b9)
why must I keep wanting things

Needing things that just can't be
C#m7C#m7 DMaj7
mine!
