I Really Want You

James Blunt

   Ami
1. Many Prophets preach on bended knees
   C
   Many clerics wasted wine
              F
   Do the bloodied sheets
   On those cobbled streets
        G
   Mean I have wasted time
   
2. Are there silver shores on paradise?
   Can I come in from the cold?
   I killed a man in a far away land
   My enemy I´m told

     Ami
R: I really want you to really want me
   But I really don’t know if you can do that
   (really want you)
     C
   I know you want to know I tried
   But I know it´s so hard for you to do that
   (really want you)
       F
   And time's running out as often it does
   And often dictates if you can't do that
   (really want you)
   G
   Fate can't break this feeling inside
                                C
   That's burning up through my veins...
                 Ami
   I really want you
                 Emi
   I really want you
                 Dmi
   I really want you
   G
   Now...
   
      F                    G
*: No matter what I say or do
       C             G/H     Ami
   The message isn’t getting through
              F
   And you’re listening to the sound
   G              C
   Of my breaking heart

              C
I really want you
              C
I really want you

Is a poor man rich in solitude?
Ami
Or will mother earth complain
          F
Did the beggar pray for a sunny day but
G
Lady luck for rain

3. They say a million people bow and scrape
   To an effigy of gold
   As so life begin
   And the ship we're in
   And history unfold

R: I really want you to really want me...

*: No matter what I say or do
   The message isn’t getting through
   And you’re listening to the sound
   Of my breaking heart   (2x)
