Chords and lyrics for All I Ever Wanted by The Airborne Toxic Event (key of F).
Verse 1
[F] [Dm] [Am]
[F]I can only say these [Dm]things to you while you're [Am]sleeping.
I hear the the [F]hum from the wires, the [Dm]sounds of the morning [Am]creeping.
I [F]lie awake and [Dm]pretend you can [Am]hear me.
[F] [Dm] [Am]
You [F]tell that you're scared, that you're [Dm]turning into your [Am]mother,
I [F]feel myself [Dm]turn into my [Am]father.
We could [F]lie to each other like [Dm]they do and say we're still [Am]happy
It's [F]easy when you're young and [Dm]you still want it so [Am]badly.
And I [Dm]feel my [C]heart [A#]pounding
And I [Dm]think [C]I might [A#]scream
I can [F]tell you that you're all I ever [C]wanted, dear
I can [Dm]utter every word you'd ever [A#]hope to hear
I [F]shudder when I think that I [C]might not be here [Dm]forever, forever, forever.
[F] [Dm] [Am]
At [F]night you whisper like a [Dm]ghost and you look so [Am]shaken
You're so [F]quiet and small and you [Dm]tell me you want to be [Am]taken.
I just [F]never think of you as the [Dm]kind of girl who would [Am]say that.
You [F]suddenly seem like some [Dm]faceless thing in my [Am]grasp.
With your [Dm]eyes so [C]wide, your face [A#]aglow
It’s the[Dm] face of[C] someone I don't[A#] know.
I can [F]tell you that you're all I ever [C]wanted, dear
I can [Dm]utter every word you'd ever [A#]hope to hear
I [F]shudder when I think that I [C]might not be here [Dm]forever, forever, forever.
[F] [Dm] [Am]
And [Dm]all I could think is that it [C]must be a kind of [A#]rebellion.
To [Dm]arm your fears like [C]soldiers and [A#]slay them.
I can [F]tell you that you're all I ever [C]wanted, dear
Through the [Dm]din of your breathing while you're [A#]sleeping here.
You [F]wake and ask me if I'm [C]going to be here [Dm]forever, forever, forever.
Your [F]face so twisted and your [C]eyes alight
I want to [Dm]tell you I can change it when you [A#]cry at night
But [F]I'd [C]be [Dm]lying.
[F]Love [C]is [Dm]defying.
End on F
