INTRO  A    D

A
She's got her sweet children 
F#m                                  A
She's got her house she's got some land 
                       C#m
Her earthly possessions 
                              D
She's got a ring upon her hand 
                         F#m
She tried to be a good girl 
                             Bm
She tried to make everything right 
             Bm/E
She tried to kill the voices 
E
That haunt her each and every night 


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


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

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

F#m                       D
Keeping her desire paralyzed 
     F#m                         D
She catches in the corner of her eyes 
         Bm                              F#m
Tank top, smooth skin, soft lips, tanned thighs 
                    Bm               D-C#m-Bm-A-Bm-C#m-E
How the hell's this ache ever gonna die.................

D
And we make our choices 
F#m
Doing what we think is good 
Bm
We deny our own dreams 
      Dsus4
'Cause we think we've been told we should 
     D
We think we've been told we should 


A
She looks up to heaven 
D
And wonders why love is so cruel 
A
She loves him won't hurt him 
D
Can't stop the wanting of you 
A
She looks up to heaven 
D
And wonders why love is so cruel 
A
She loves him won't hurt him 
D                           A         D
Can't stop the wanting of you..........
         A

                       D                        A        D            
She can't stop, she can't stop the wanting of you..........
         A

she can't stop the wanting, the wanting of you
