[Intro]
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD x2


[Verse]
    G+G
I'd be glad to give back
C majorC   G+G    D MajorD
All I've ever owned
        G+G
If I could've seen into the future
  C majorC  G+G    D MajorD
If only I had known
       G+G
Behind these walls of separation
    C majorC   G+G    D MajorD
I have learned to live alone

[Chorus]
   E minorEm
But I want you
 C majorC    G+G
I want you back


[Verse]
    G+G
I could clearly see the letters
      C majorC    G+G   D MajorD
But not the writing on the wall
   G+G
About what had come between us
  C majorC    G+G   D MajorD
And how the mighty fall
  G+G
But one thing keeps repeating
     C majorC  G+G    D MajorD
It's the only thing I know


[Chorus]
    E minorEm
That I want you
 C majorC    G+G
I want you back
    E minorEm
Yeah I want you
 C majorC    G+G
I want you back

[Bridge]
     C majorC    G+G
Well I've taken that number
     D MajorD     G+G
How could I have been so blind
    C majorC       G+G
Now I'm coming up from under
   D MajorD
It's you I'll have to find
  C majorC     G+G
My back is up against the ropes
   D MajorD      G+G
Only one way I can go
   G minorGm  Am7Am7
And I want you


[Solo]
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G


[Verse]
  G+G
How far is the distance
     C majorC   G+G    D MajorD
Have you gone beyond the signs
     G+G
Have you passed the point of no return
C majorC     G+G      D MajorD
Have you crossed that line
    G+G
And it burns me like a fever
    C majorC    G+G   D MajorD
I gotta tell you one last time


[Chorus]
    E minorEm
That I want you
 C majorC    G+G
I want you back
    E minorEm
Yeah I want you
 C majorC    G+G
I want you back
    E minorEm
Yeah I want you
 C majorC    G+G
I want you back
    E minorEm
Yeah I want you
 C majorC    G+G
I want you back
