Intro:   Am   F   Am.   Am   F   Am. x2. (see tab at bottom)
 
                  F                                         G                    F                     G
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar      when I met you
I picked you out I shook you up and turned you around.    turned you into someone new
Now five years later on you’ve got the world at your feet.    success has been so easy for you
But don’t forget it’s me who put you where you are now    and I can put you back down too

Am                       Em                    F                                               Dm                               G
Don't, don't you want me?  You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't, don't you want me? You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me

 

       A                                          Bm
It's much too late to find, you think you've changed your mind
    C                                                       E
You better change it back or we will both be sorry

 

F                               G         F                                   G
Don't you want me baby,   don't you want me oh ohohoh
F                              G          F                                   G
Don't you want me baby,   don't you want me oh ohohoh
 

I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar,      that much is true
But even then I knew I'd find a much better place,    either with or without you
The five years we have had, have been such good times,    I still love you
But now I think it's time I live my life on my own,    I guess it's just what I must do
