[Verse 1]
    F#m
The last time that I saw her
                           E
Was the night she said goodbye
    B
She said that love's a stranger
                          E
And it's sure to pass you by (yes, she did)
       F#m
As she packed up her belongings
A                              E
  Baby wouldn't look me in the eye
            B
But I could see a tear roll off her face
A                  B
  As we both tried so hard not to cry, she said
 
[Chorus]
E                  B                            C#m
I never wanted the stars, I never shot for the moon
             B    B/Eb  E     A         B
I like them right where they are, all I wanted was you
E                  B                             C#m
So baby just turn away, because I can't face the truth
        B  B/Eb E  A                        E   Esus4  E
All I'm trying  to say, is all I wanted was you
 
[Verse 2]
        F#m
I tried so hard to remember
                   E
Where, when, how, why love went away
           B
I tried to drown myself in pity
                                 E
But your memory kept calling my name (yes, it did)
              F#m
I brought you fancy cars and diamond rings, baby
A
  All the things that my money brings
        E
And the servants to paint the skies blue
      B
And I worked so hard seven days a week
        A
Built a fortress for your heart to keep
     B
If I could I'd wrap these words up for you... yeah
 
[Chorus]
E                  B                            C#m
I never wanted the stars, I never shot for the moon
             B    B/Eb  E     A         B
I like them right where they are, all I wanted was you
E                  B                             C#m
So baby just turn away, because I can't face the truth
        B  B/Eb E  A                         E
All I'm trying  to say, is all I wanted was you
       C#m         A    C#m B  Abm B/F# C#m
I want you, I want you, ba--by, I  want you...
 
[Bridge]
               A
But never thought you were alone
             F#m
I filled the party up with company
          B7                  C#m B Abm B/F#
But never made our house a hoooooooooooome
 
[Solo]
E    F#m    A    E
E    F#m    A    A
 
[Pre-Chorus]
E                       C#m
All I got is my guitar, these chords and the truth
A                             B7              (C# B Ab F#)
All I got is my guitar... but all I want, baby all I want
 
[Chorus]
E                  B                            C#m
I never wanted the stars, I never shot for the moon
             B    B/Eb  E     A         B
I like them right where they are, all I wanted was you
E                  B                             C#m
So baby just turn away, because I can't face the truth
        B  B/Eb E  A                         E
All I'm trying  to say, is all I wanted was you
 
[Outro]
       C#m         A    C#m B  Abm B/F# E
I want you, I want you, baby, I  want you
       C#m         A    C#m B  Abm B/F# E
I want you, I want you, baby, I  want you
       C#m         A    C#m B  Abm B/F# E
I want you, I want you, baby, I  want you
       C#m         A    C#m B  Abm B/F# E
I want you, I want you, baby, I  want you
