When You Want Something chords by Smoking Popes

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:

B


Verse 1:
B                      G#m
oh the night is bitter
G#m                       E
the stars have lost their glitter
E
and every day
C#m
takes you farther away

B
From the one to whom
     G#m
your longing heart belongs
       E
So you crawl into the songs
    C#m      E    F#
And hope to find her there



Chorus:
B             B/Bb    G#
When you want something
G#                  F#        C#m
That you know you'll never have
         E/D#
And that wanting is
        E            F#
what's keeping you alive

B             B/Bb    G#
When you lose someone
G#             F#        C#m
that you never really had
         E/D#
and that losing feels like
        E            F#
what it means to die



Verse 2:
B                      G#m
oh the winds grow colder
G#m                       E
and suddenly you're older
E
Than that little girl
C#m
Wide-eyed in a wicked world

B
Do you dare to think
     G#m
the promise of your love
       E
was the land that she heard of
    C#m      E    F#
in a lullaby where the bluebirds fly
