I Want Love

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Songs From The West Coast

A    F#m    C#m    C    D
A    F#m    C#m  C    D

A        F#m                E
I want love, but it's impossible
C#m          F#m            D
A man like me, so irresponsible
C#maj7               F#m     F#m/E
A man like me is dead in places
Bsus4 B            D/E  Esus4  E
Other men feel liberated


I can't love, shot full of holes
Don't feel nothing, I just feel cold
Don't feel nothing, just old scars
Toughening up around my heart

      A                G/A
But I want love, just a different kind
D/A                          F/A
I want love, won't break me down
         A/C#                       F#/B
Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
             Bm
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
                Bm/E           E         C    D
That's the love I want, I want love

I want love on my own terms
After everything I've ever learned
Me, I carry too much baggage
Oh man I've seen so much traffic

F                    C    F/C   C
So bring it on, I've been bruised
G                                    C       F/C  C
Don't give me love that's clean and smooth
Cm                      Bb  Eb/Bb   Bb
I'm ready for the rougher      stuff
F                             D           E
No sweet romance, I've had enough
