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 ─
