Standard (EADGBE)

::Verse #1:

All I wanted was everything

 My sad attraction, a wedding ring

 And a love lost lady in a long black dress

 Well, her succumbing was my success

All I wanted... was everything

All I wanted... was everything

::Verse #2::

 She sucked the lust from my fingertips

 I licked the love from her luscious lips

 A burning sign at a cheap motel

 We shook that bed 'til the mirrors fell

All I wanted... was everything

All I wanted... was everything

::Chorus::

 You see what you want but you take what you get

 You don't know what you want but you ain't got it yet

 See what you want but you take what you get

 'Till it's all gone

 You see what you want but you take what you get

 You don't know what you want but you ain't got it yet

 You dream it, you speak it, you finally seek it

 And it's all gone

::Transition::

::Verse #3::

Two months later was when we'd meet

 In a supermarket with four cold feet

 To lose a lover but gain a friend

 Will never feel this good again

All I wanted... was everything

All I wanted... was everything

::Repeat Chorus::

::Transition::

::Chorus with new chords::

 You see what you want but you take what you get

 You don't know what you want but you ain't got it yet

See what you want but you take what you get

 'Till it's all gone

 You see what you want but you take what you get

 You don't know what you want but you ain't got it yet

 You dream it, you speak it, you finally seek it

G (low G, no chord)

And it's all gone
