Intro

D-7-----11—-7-----11---|

I wanted it all---- right from the beginning

The more that I saw of what could be mine

So young and so faithful, too hungry and blind

Sure took a fall, I wanted it all

The side I was on----was where I could get it

Into the streets where it's easy to use

Taking my brother, getting down on the blues

Sleeping in halls, I wanted it all

Bridge

Fires keep burning just to become ashes

You change your mind as fast as lightning flashes

I wanted it all-----up to the last minute

I took you for real and you took me apart

Two gamblers felt lucky, one had the cards

After the ball, I wanted it all

You're telling me------all what you believe in

Searching for someone there's nothing to give

You say I'm empty handed and I don't know how to live

I don't believe you at all, I wanted it all

You never knew me at all, I wanted it all

n.C.

I wanted it all
