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
