I Want You (the cherry cola song) Darren Hayes, Daniel Jones (Savage Garden), 1996 YouTube video tutorial: https://youtu.be/2aNFoP099cU
INTRO: [Even, persistent strum: DuduDudu] G5 |x x x x|x x x x|x x x x|x x x x| C5 |x x x x|x x x x|x x x x|x x x x|
VERSE 2: G I’m the kind of person who endorses
a deep commitment
Getting comfy getting perfect C is what I live for
But a look and then the smell of perfume
it’s like I’m down on the floor
and I don’t know what I’m in for
G Conversation has a time and place in the
interaction of a lover and a mate but the C Time of talking, using symbols, using words
Can be likened to a deep sea diver
who is swimming with a raincoat
BRIDGE: C2 Bb C2 Bb G Yah yah - yah yah ─
VERSE 1: G Anytime I need to see your face
I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place C where your crystal mind
And magenta feelings take up shelter
in the base of my spine
sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola G I don’t need to try to explain
I just hold on tight
And if it happens again C I might move so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face of the human cannonball that I need to, I want to
PRE-CHORUS: D Come stand a little bit closer C Breathe in and get a bit higher D You’ll never know what hit you
when C D2 C D2 I - get - to - you
CHORUS: Persistent strum with percussion: DuduXudu] Bb C2 Ooh, I want you G I don’t know if I need you, but Bb C2 G Ooh, I’d die to find out Bb C2 Ooh, I want you G I don’t know if I need you, but Bb C2 G5 Ooh, I would die to find out ─
