INTRO  A5    D5

A5
She's got her sweet children 
F#5                                  A5
She's got her house she's got some land 
                       C#5
Her earthly possessions 
                              D5
She's got a ring upon her hand 
                         F#5
She tried to be a good girl 
                             B5
She tried to make everything right 
             B5
She tried to kill the voices 
E5
That haunt her each and every night 


        A5                     
CHORUS: She looks up to heaven 
        D5
      And wonders why love is so cruel 
        A5
      She loves him won't hurt him 
        D5                           A5     D5
      Can't stop the wanting of you  ohh


A5
She married in high school 
F#5
Oldest was well upon her way 
A5                            C#5
But that wild night - Chicago 
                             D5
It left a mark she can't erase 
                         F#5
A phase you'll just get over 
                                    B5       
That's what her friends have always said 
             B5
You dip your toes in water 
E5
She's in way over her head 

        A5
CHORUS: She looks up to heaven 
        D5
      And wonders why love is so cruel 
        A5
      She loves him won't hurt him 
        D5                          F#5
      Can't stop the wanting of you 
        D5                 F#5        D5
           Ohh ohh ohh ohhhh

F#5                       D5
Keeping her desire paralyzed 
     F#5                         D5
She catches in the corner of her eyes 
         B5                              F#5
Tank top, smooth skin, soft lips, tanned thighs 
                    B5               D5 - C#5 - B5 - A5 - B5 - C#5 - E5
How the hell's this ache ever gonna die.................

D5
And we make our choices 
F#5
Doing what we think is good 
B5
We deny our own dreams 
      D5
'Cause we think we've been told we should 
     D5
We think we've been told we should 


A5
She looks up to heaven 
D5
And wonders why love is so cruel 
A5
She loves him won't hurt him 
D5
Can't stop the wanting of you 
A5
She looks up to heaven 
D5
And wonders why love is so cruel 
A5
She loves him won't hurt him 
D5                           A5         D5
Can't stop the wanting of you..........
         A5  
oh oh oh ohhhhh
                       D5                        A5        D5            
She can't stop, she can't stop the wanting of you..........
         A5
oh oh oh ohhhhh
                D5                          A5
she can't stop the wanting, the wanting of you
