::Intro:: ::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
