I Want Love
Music by Elton John

G    Em    Bm    Amaj7    C
G    Em    Bm    Amaj7    C

G                Em                D
I want love, but it's impossible
Bm                 Em            C
A man like me, so irresponsible
D                         Em        D
A man like me is dead in places 
A                       C       D
Other men feel liberated


I can't love, shot full of holes
Don't feel nothing, I just feel cold
Don't feel nothing, just old scars
Toughening up around my heart

      G                F
But I want love, just a different kind
C                             D
I want love, won't break me down 
         G                         E
Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
             Am
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
                   D                         C
That's the love I want, I want love

I want love on my own terms
After everything I've ever learned
Me, I carry too much baggage
Oh man I've seen so much traffic

D                A          
So bring it on, I've been bruised
F                                    A
Don't give me love that's clean and smooth
Am                       G
I'm ready for the rougher   stuff
D                              C            G
No sweet romance, I've had enough
