I Want It, (And I Want It Now!)
Words & Music by Chris de Burgh
 
Just vocal (whisper): I want it now, now.
 
Bm7            G           A          Bm7
Four in the morning and I just can't sleep,
             G              A         Bm7
I've got a craving now for something sweet,
     G                         D
So I head off for my local all-night supermarket,
           Em          A
When I get there, it's deserted;

Bm7           G               A
And now I'm standing at the chocolate shelf,
Bm7        G              A          Bm7
Under the sign that says "Help yourself,
        G                             D 
If you really gotta have it, then we really gotta sell it to you,
Em                     Asus4
This is for people who say;

A C              D         G - Em
I want it, and I want it now,
  C              D         G
I want it, and I just can't wait,
  C              D         G - D/F# - Em
I want it, and I want it now,
  C              D         G
I want it and I will not wait,
                Bm7
Ooh ooh ooh.
(Whisper:) I want it now!"

Bm7      G               A     Bm7
I sit at home and when I watch TV,
        G              A       Bm7
I gotta have remote control with me,
        G                                D
Oh and when I'm watching football, I can go to total recall,
         Em                  D/A   A
I've got freeze-frame, I got slow-mo;

Bm7         G               A        Bm7
This is the way that it was meant to be,
              G             A     Bm7
You gotta get ready for the century,
       G                           D        
I'm a total modern man, and I got total modern plans,
            Em            Asus4 - A
And it's so easy when you say;

  C              D       G - D/F# - Em
I want it, and I want it now,
  C              D          G
I want it, and I just can't wait,
  C              D       G - D/F# - Em
I want it, and I want it now,
              C
I gotta get a feel to try,
              D
I gotta get a meal inside,
              Em
I gotta get a deal tonight,
        D
I gotta say,
G/D        G            Gm/Bb             Cadd9
I want it now, I want it now, I want it now,
                  G
And I just can't wait!
        Bm7 - G - A - Bm7 - G - A - Bm7 - G - D/F# - Em - D/A 
Ooh ooh ooh.

A C              D       Em - D - C
I want it, and I want it now,
                 D          G
I want it, and I just can't wait,
  Eb             F       Bb - F/A - Gm
I want it, and I want it now,
  Eb             F        G
I want it, and I will not wait,

          G
I want it now,
          Gm/Bb
I want it now,
          Cadd9                  G
I want it now, and I just can't wait;

I want it now,
I want it now,
I want it now, and I just can't wait;

                              Gm/Bb
Here it is the new sensation, listen to the new generation,
 Cadd9                         G
"We want something, we want it now!"
                              Gm/Bb
You don't need no invitation, listen to the new conversation,
 Cadd9                         G
"We want something, we want it now!"

       G      Gm/Bb      Cadd9 
Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
           G
We want it now;

Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
We want it now;

Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
We want it now;

Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
    Cadd9               G
I want it and I want it now.
