Intro:
G  Am  C  G

Verse 1:
                               Am
There's this image of you that I can't shake
            C                 G
That day we drove out to the ocean
                 Am
So many things I wanted to say
      C                  G
But I knew it was all in vain

Am                     Em
 Life doesn't give you hoops to jump through
Am                         Em
 It gives you tireless roads to cross
Am                Em
 The sadness came over me
Am                   Em
 So in love, so at a loss


Chorus:
     F       C
I've wanted you
            G
For so very long


Verse 2:
                         Am
I've been feeling so inbetween things
C                    G
Sadness stuck in the road
                         Am
Even when I'm as high as I can get
           C             G
I can't forget I'm on my own

Am                      Em
 Keep thinking I can escape this
Am                        Em
 But there are no red shoes to tap
Am                             Em
 Just endless hauling through a desert
Am                         Em
 And babe there never was a map


Chorus:
         F       C
But I've wanted you
            G
For so very long

Em   C   G
 Ooh ooh ooh
Em   C   G
 Ooh ooh ooh


Verse 3:
                      Am
All the people I have grown to love
          C               G
That I've had to leave behind
                             Am
Because that was the way the road turned
          C              G
I'm sorry I have let you down

Am                  Em
 You caught me in a moment
Am                              Em
 When I was trying to catch the wind
Am                              Em
 Thought there was some kind of magic
Am                        Em
 It's just we've executed tricks


Chorus:
         F       C
But I've wanted you
            G
For so very long


Verse 4:
                  Am
This is what time does to us
          C               G
We try to fight and never win
                   Am
There's no plot to follow here
         C                      G
Just repetition of the same old sin

Am                         Em
 I keep thinking that I've found it
Am                          Em
 A way to fill up the empty parts in me
Am                 Em
 If it's all temporary
Am                             Em
 I guess I'll have to wait and see


{Chorus]
     F       C
I've wanted you
            G
For so very long

Em   C   G
 Ooh ooh ooh
Em   C   G
 Ooh ooh ooh


Verse 5:
                      Am
The woman who lives above me
           C                G
I hear her listen to the radio
                       Am
She loves the old time stations
          C                  G
They say "Lover don't let me go"

Am                        Em
 And I have been there before
Am                          Em
 In that place of desperate need
Am                   Em
 I'm not ready to go back there
Am                           Em
 To wait for someone else to leave


Chorus:
         F       C
But I've wanted you
            G
For so very long


Verse 6:
                       Am
Now I'm turnin' all my lights down
             C             G
I don't know where you are tonight
                              Am
Can feel so close and then so far away
           C              G
And in the blinking of an eye

Am                        Em
 I convince myself I have answers
Am                    Em
 But I always call my bluff
Am                Em
 All I have is my love to give
Am                         Em
 Some day that might be enough


Chorus:
         F       C
And I've wanted you
            G
For so very long

     F       C
I've wanted you
            G
For so very long


Em  C   G
Ooh ooh ooh
Em  C   G
Ooh ooh ooh
Em  C   G
Ooh ooh ooh
Em  C   G
Ooh ooh ooh
