Coda:
C7 Everything is going wrong; I've lost everything I had.
I have to sing this sad song to get back to her.
And I'm gonna sing this song to you;
And I want you, and I want you, and I want you, and I want you.
And I wanna tell you everything is going through my mind,
And I want to sing, and I want to sing,
And I want to sing, and I want to sing this song with you,
And I wanna sing this song to everyone.
'Cos I want them to understand what I talkin' about,
I want you to understand, what I'm sayin'...
