All I Ever Wanted

G Em Bm 3x G Em Bm I can only say these things to you while you're sleeping. G Em Bm I hear the the hum from the wires, the sounds of the morning creeping. G Em Bm I lie awake and pretend you can hear me. G Em Bm 2x G Em Bm You tell that you're scared, that you're turning into your mother, G Em Bm I feel myself turn into my father. G Em Bm We could lie to each other like they do and say we're still happy G Em Bm It's easy when you're young and you still want it so badly. Em D C And I feel my heart pounding Em D C And I think I might scream G D I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear Em C I can utter every word you'd ever hope to hear G D Em I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever. G Em Bm 2x G Em Bm At night you whisper like a ghost and you look so shaken G Em Bm You're so quiet and small and you tell me you want to be taken. G Em Bm I just never think of you as the kind of girl who would say that. G Em Bm You suddenly seem like some faceless thing in my grasp. Em D C With your eyes so wide, your face aglow Em D C It’s the face of someone I don't know. G D I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear Em C I can utter every word you'd ever hope to hear G D Em I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever. G Em Bm 7x Em D C And all I could think is that it must be a kind of rebellion. Em D C To arm your fears like soldiers and slay them. G D I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear Em C Through the din of your breathing while you're sleeping here. G D Em You wake and ask me if I'm going to be here forever, forever, forever. G D Your face so twisted and your eyes alight Em C I want to tell you I can change it when you cry at night G D Em But I'd be lying. G D Em Love is defying. End on F
