I Only Wanted chords by Mariah Carey

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
G minorGm       Eb7Eb7
Doesn't it ever stay
F7F7         D7D7
Must it always fade away
G minorGm         Eb7Eb7
Couldn't love ever be
     F7F7      D7D7
Something tangible and real
G minorGm C minorCm        Eb7Eb7
Farewell, fairweather friend
    F7F7       D7D7
Abandonment returns to taunt me again

Chorus:
G minorGm   C minorCm      F7F7
I only wanted you to stay
      Bb majorBb    F7F7    G minorGm
Linger and mean the words you said
     C minorCm    F7F7
Foolishly I romanticized
      Bb majorBb    F7F7
Someone was saving my life
    G minorGm
For the first time
    C minorCm      A augmentedA
I only wanted you to be there when I
D7D7      G minorGm
Opened up my eyes

Verse 2:
    G minorGm         Eb7Eb7
I was caught in your masquerade
     F7F7        D7D7
Wish I'd stayed beneath my veil
    G minorGm         Eb7Eb7
But it just seemed so easy to
   F7F7      D7D7
Open up myself to you
G minorGm  C minorCm      Eb7Eb7
Once more into the wind
      F7F7
The embers scatter
    D7D7
And the chill settles in

 G minorGm   C minorCm      F7F7
I only wanted you to stay
      Bb majorBb    F7F7    G minorGm
Linger and mean the words you said
     C minorCm    F7F7
Foolishly I romanticized
      Bb majorBb    F7F7
Someone was saving my life
    G minorGm
For the first time
    C minorCm      A augmentedA
I only wanted you to be there when I
D7D7      G minorGm
Opened up my eyes

The one to get me through the night

I only wanted you

Doesn't it ever stay?
