Chords and lyrics for I Want You by Holly Cole (key of G).
Chorus
[G]Cry if you want to, I won't tell you not to.
[G]I won't try to cheer you up,
[C]I'll just be here If you [G]want [D][Em]me.[G][C]
Verse
[G]It's no use in keeping a stiff upper lip,
[G]You can weep, you can sleep, you can loosen your grip.
You can [Em]frown, you can [C]drown
And go [G]down with the ship.
[C] You can cry if you [G]want to.
Verse
[G]Don't ever apologise venting your pain,
[G]It's something to me you don't need to explain.
I don't [Em]need to know [C]why,
I don't [G]think it's insane.
[C] You can cry if you [G]want to.
Bridge
The [Em]windows are closed,
The neighbors aren't [C]home,
If it's [G]better with me than to [F#m]do it alone,
I'll [Em]draw all the curtains,
And [G]unplug the phone
[C] You can cry if you [G]want to.
Verse
[G]You can stare at the ceiling, and tear at your hair,
[G]Swallow your feelings, and stagger and swear.
You can [Em]show things and [C]throw things
And [G]I wouldn't care.
[C] You can cry if you [G]want to.
Verse
[G]I won't make fun of you. I won't tell anyone.
[G]I won't analyze what you do or you should have done.
[Em] I won't [C]advise you to
[G]Go and have fun.
[C] You can cry if you [G]want to.
Verse
[G]Well it's empty and ugly
[G]And terribly sad.
I can't [Em]feel what you [C]feel,
But I [G]know it feels [F#m]bad.
I [Em]know that it's real
And it [C]makes you so mad.
You can [G]cry.
Chorus
[G]Cry if you want to, I won't tell you not to.
[G]I won't try to cheer you up.
[Em]I'll just be [C]here if you [G]want me [D]to [Em]be [C]near [G]you.
