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
