I Want You  by Elvis Costello   (from Blood and Chocolate)
----------

Hi. This is for those who requested it. The tab section was created with 
my TAB MASTER program for TAB transcribing on PC. I'm not so sure how 
accurate it is, but it works anyway. I suppose that some of the E chords 
of the intro can be played as E7 - it works too. The intro, anyway, 
should sound good, I personally think its far from what is actually 
played on the album (not the chords, but the notes themselves). It's
very easy to to play the song, but I think that remembering all the 
lyrics is a bit tricky... Enjoy!

Em     G
I want you
       C                B7                Em
You've had your fun you don't get well no more
  G
I want you
     C              B7
Your fingernails go dragging down the wall
   B7      C       C         B7
be careful darling you might fall

[Repeat the Em-G-C-B7 sequence in the next lines]

I want you
I woke up and one of us was crying
I want you
You said "Young man I do believe you're dying"
I want you
If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days
                                    B7
You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways

B7 C C B7

[continue sequence...]

I want you
Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget
I want you
Since when were you so generous and inarticulate
I want you
It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for
It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for
It's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing
I want you
                                          B7
It's the thought of him undressing you on you undressing

B7 C C B7

[continue sequence]

I want you
He tossed some tatty compliment your way
I want you
                                    B7 [pause then continue]
And you were fool enough to love it when he said
"I want you"

I want you
The truth can't hurt you it's just like the dark
It scares you witles
But in time you see things clear and stark
I want you
Go on and hurt me when we'll let it drop
I want you
I'm afraid I won't know where to stop
I want you
I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you
I want you
I want to know the things you did that we do too
I want you
I want to hear he pleases you more than I do
I want you
I might as well be useless for all it means to you
I want you
Did you call his name out as he held you down
I want you
Oh no my darling not with that clown
I want you
                                          B7 [pause]
You've had your fun you don't get well no more
I want you
No-one who wants you could want you more
I want you
Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up
I want you
I want you
I'm going to say it once again 'til I instill it
I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it
I want you
I want you
