Intro:
G G/F# Em Cadd9 Dsus4 X2

G

Verse 1:
G      G/F#                     Em
So I hear your rebuilding your life
    Cadd9
Down in Mexico way
   Dsus4                  G
To act out your favorite play
G/F#               Em
With your cat and piano 
         Cadd9     
I always new you could play
            Dsus4
I knew you better than your friends would suggest
G     G/F#                Em
The one who's laid claim to being your best

Well that's always the way
 
When you want something 

That's always the way 

When you want something you can't have

When you want something you can't have

Verse 2: (same chords as verse 1)
You were my favourite one
But I suppose that's 
Fallen on deaf ears
Because of the way that it was left
It was in the hands of the gods the sods
There an un ruley mob and on there CV 
They can now write down theft

Chorus:
(same chords as verse 1)
Something's they are not for the best
And that's always the way
When you want something 
That's always the way 
When you want something you can't have

Bridge:

                   Bm 
That's always the way 
         Cm                     G
When you want something you can't have
                   Bm
That's always the way 
         Cm                     G
When you want something you can't have

Same chords as verse 1:
I never wanted this to happen this way
When do we ever a little time called never
Retrospect is such a cruel invention
No cruel intentions not a single bad

I never wanted this to happen this way
When do we ever a little time called never
Retrospect is such a cruel invention
No cruel intentions
I want something I can't have
