[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
