Standard (EADGBE)

::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
