I Really Want You

James Blunt

1. Many Prophets preach on bended knees
   Many clerics wasted wine
   Do the bloodied sheets
   On those cobbled streets
   Mean I have wasted time
   
2. Are there silver shores on paradise?
   Can I come in from the cold?
   I killed a man in a far away land
   My enemy I´m told

R: I really want you to really want me
   But I really don’t know if you can do that
   (really want you)
   I know you want to know I tried
   But I know it´s so hard for you to do that
   (really want you)
   And time's running out as often it does
   And often dictates if you can't do that
   (really want you)
   Fate can't break this feeling inside
   That's burning up through my veins...
   I really want you
   I really want you
   I really want you
   Now...
   
*: No matter what I say or do
   The message isn’t getting through
   And you’re listening to the sound
   Of my breaking heart

I really want you
I really want you

Is a poor man rich in solitude?
Or will mother earth complain
Did the beggar pray for a sunny day but
Lady luck for rain

3. They say a million people bow and scrape
   To an effigy of gold
   As so life begin
   And the ship we're in
   And history unfold

R: I really want you to really want me...

*: No matter what I say or do
   The message isn’t getting through
   And you’re listening to the sound
   Of my breaking heart   (2x)
