[Intro] G Am C G [Verse 1]
                               Am
There's this image of you that I can't shake

            C                 G
That day we drove out to the ocean

                 Am
So many things I wanted to say

      C                  G
But I knew it was all in vain

Am                     Em
 Life doesn't give you hoops to jump through

Am                         Em
 It gives you tireless roads to cross

Am                Em
 The sadness came over me

Am                 Em
 So in love, so at loss
[Chorus]
     F       C
I've wanted you

            G
For so very long
[Verse 2]
                         Am
I've been feeling so inbetween things

C                  G
Sad and stuckin' alone

                         Am
Even when I'm as high as I can get

            C            G
I can't forget I'm on my own

Am                      Em
 Keep thinking I can escape this

Am                        Em
 But there are no red shoes to tap

Am                             Em
 Just endless hauling through a desert

Am                         Em
 And babe there never was a map
[Chorus]
         F       C
But I've wanted you

            G
For so very long

Em   C   G
 Ooh ooh ooh

Em   C   G
 Ooh ooh ooh
[Verse 3]
                      Am
All the people I have grown to love

          C               G
That I've had to leave behind

                             Am
Because that was the way the road turned

          C              G
I'm sorry I have let you down

Am                  Em
 You caught me in a moment

Am                              Em
 When I was trying to catch the wind

Am                               Em
 Thought there was some kind of magic

Am                              Em
 But there's just well-executed tricks
[Chorus]
     F       C
I've wanted you

            G
For so very long
[Verse 4]
                  Am
This is what time does to us

          C               G
We try to fight and never win

                   Am
There's no plot to follow here

         C                      G
Just repetition of the same old sin

Am                         Em
 I keep thinking that I've found it

Am                          Em
 A way to fill up the empty parts in me

Am                 Em
 If it's all temporary

Am                             Em
 I guess I'll have to wait and see
{Chorus]
     F       C
I've wanted you

            G
For so very long

Em   C   G
 Ooh ooh ooh

Em   C   G
 Ooh ooh ooh
[Verse 5]
                      Am
The woman who lives above me

           C                G
I hear her listen to the radio

                       Am
She loves the old time stations

          C                  G
They say "Lover don't let me go"

Am                        Em
 And I have been there before

Am                          Em
 In that place of desperate need

Am                   Em
 I'm not ready to go back there

Am                           Em
 To wait for someone else to leave
[Chorus]
         F       C
But I've wanted you

            G
For so very long
[Verse 6]
                       Am
Now I'm turnin' all my lights down

             C             G
I don't know where you are tonight

                              Am
Can feel so close and then so far away

           C              G
Within the blinking of an eye

Am                        Em
 I convince myself I have answers

Am                    Em
 But I always call my bluff

Am                Em
 All I have is my love to give

Am                         Em
 Some day that might be enough
[Chorus]
         F       C
But I've wanted you

            G
For so very long

     F       C
I've wanted you

            G
For so very long

Em  C   G
Ooh ooh ooh

Em  C   G
Ooh ooh ooh

Em  C   G
Ooh ooh ooh

Em  C   G
Ooh ooh ooh
