*To transition easily between G and Cadd9, use 320033 and x32033* [Intro] G Cadd9 G D x2 [Verse]
       G
I'd be glad to give back

Cadd9 G       D
All I've ever owned

               G
If I could've seen into the future

   Cadd9 G      D
If only I had known

             G
Behind these walls of separation

        Cadd9  G        D
I have learned to live alone
[Chorus]
      Em
But I want you

  C        G
I want you back
[Verse]
        G
I could clearly see the letters

            Cadd9   G      D
But not the writing on the wall

      G
About what had come between us

    Cadd9   G      D
And how the mighty fall

    G
But one thing keeps repeating

         Cadd9 G     D
It's the only thing I know
[Chorus]
       Em
That I want you

  C        G
I want you back

       Em
Yeah I want you

  C        G
I want you back
[Bridge]
          Cadd9    G
Well I've taken that number

          D          G
How could I have been so blind

        Cadd9          G
Now I'm coming up from under

     D
It's you I'll have to find

   Cadd9     G
My back is up against the ropes

     D            G
Only one way I can go

      Gm   Am7
And I want you
[Solo] G Cadd9 G D Em C G [Verse]
    G
How far is the distance

         Cadd9  G        D
Have you gone beyond the signs

         G
Have you passed the point of no return

Cadd9     G           D
Have you crossed that line

       G
And it burns me like a fever

        Cadd9   G      D
I gotta tell you one last time
[Chorus]
       Em
That I want you

  C        G
I want you back

       Em
Yeah I want you

  C        G
I want you back

       Em
Yeah I want you

  C        G
I want you back

       Em
Yeah I want you

  C        G
I want you back
