All I Want
Joni Mitchell (c) 1971

D                         A7   Bm
I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
C               G      C    A7     D
Looking for something, what can it be?
D                              A7      Bm
Oh I hate you some, I hate you some, I love you some
     C       G C        A7        D
Oh I love you when I forget about me
             Bm                       A
I want to be strong, I want to laugh along
            Bm             A
I want to belong to the living
       Bm                         A
by the light I want to get up and jive
                   Bm                        D
I want to wreck my stockings in some jukebox dive
D                                        A
Do you want, do you want, do you want to dance with me baby?
               C
Do you want to take a chance
         Bm
on maybe finding some sweet romance with me baby,
            A A7Sus4 Am7
now come on.

All I really really want our love to do
is to bring out the best in me, and in you too
All I really really want our love to do
is to bring out the best in me, and in you
I want to talk to you, want to shine through you
I want to renew you again and again
Cause applause, life is our cause
When I think of your kisses, my mind see-saws
Do you see, do you see, do you see how you hurt me baby?
So I hurt you too. Then we both get so blue.

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling, traveling, traveling
Looking for the key to set me free
Oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling; it's the unraveling
And it undoes all the joy that could be
I want to have fun, I want to shine like the sun
I want to be the one you want to see
I want to knit you a sweater, I want to write you a love letter
I want to make you feel better, make you feel... free!
