Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:

D MajorD         B minorBm
Oh, woman, tell me what you want
  A augmentedA     G+G
And I'll calm down without bleeding out
    D MajorD            A augmentedA
With a broken heart that you stabbed for an hour

Verse 2:

 D MajorD          B minorBm       A augmentedA      G+G
Woman, I was freaking out because I want you to know
             D MajorD       A augmentedA
My beloved, you are the lover of my impossible soul

Verse 3:

 D MajorD               B minorBm       A augmentedA     G+G
Woman, too, promise me you'll stay and put off all your woes
               D MajorD
I was wigging out, too much worry
      A augmentedA
I could not get you at all

Verse 4:

  D MajorD                     B minorBm
And you said what you want, you would laugh it off
      A augmentedA    G+G
But I know you won't go, not for it at last
     D MajorD            A augmentedA
Must you write it off for the impossible soul?

Verse 5:

  D MajorD               B minorBm          A augmentedA    G+G
And I was in a dream, I was gone away without you, but not too slow
             D MajorD            A augmentedA
Lest I put it off, for I put it right for the impossible soul

Chorus:

  E minorEm       D MajorD          B minorBm   C majorC
And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all, my life, to you
G+G     A augmentedA
If I could get you at all
 G+G                B minorBm        A augmentedA
(Don't be a wreck), trying to be something that I wasn't at all

Verse 6:

D MajorD                  B minorBm        A augmentedA    G+G
Seems I got it wrong, I was chasing after something that was gone
               D MajorD           A augmentedA
To the black of night, now I know it's not what I wanted at all

Verse 7:

  D MajorD                     B minorBm         A augmentedA
And you said something like, "All you want is all the world for yourself"-
      G+G
But all I want is the perfect love
     D MajorD            A augmentedA
Though I know it's small, I want love for us all

Chorus:

  E minorEm       D MajorD          B minorBm   C majorC
And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all, my life, to you
G+G     A augmentedA        G+G
If I could get you at all
       B minorBm        A augmentedA
Trying to be something that I wasn't at all
