From Woodridge, Australia to worldwide success, Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones were responsible for some of the most widely-known pop songs of the late '90s and early '00s. Appropriately enough, given their Anne Rice-inspired name, Savage Garden veered between lush ballads (Truly Madly Deeply, I Knew I Loved You) and up-tempo dance numbers (I Want You, The Animal Song) with a deftness that put many of their contemporaries in the shade.
In July of 1996, under Roadshow Music, the duo released their debut single I Want You.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Hints: There's two sets of Dm chords-- one with the bass lines and one that is a quick solo ringing-- the Dm's listed are the solo ones. I'm not even sure if they are in the exact place, but if you can play with the CD you'll know where it goes. You can either play the quick 3 beat solo or play the Dm continuously with the bass line. Like most of the other chords on this site, they are tabbed at the bottom and the asteriks indicate where they go. :)
intro: Dm (x4) *
DmDm and we stare each other down like victims in the grind DmDm probing all the weakness and hurt still left behind AmCG * and we cry the tears of pearls we do it oh we do it DmDm is love really the tragedy the way you might describe DmDm or would a thousand lovers still leave you cold inside AmCG make you cry these tears of pearls
chorus: BmDEmG all these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls BmDEmG stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world
DmDm your kisses are like pearls so different and so rare DmDm but anger stole the jewels away and love has left you bare AmCG made you cry these tears of pearls DmDm well i could be the tired joker pour my heart to get you in DmDm sacrifice my happiness just so i could win AmCG maybe cry these tears of pearls
(chorus)
Bm we twist and turn where angels burn Em like fallen soldiers we will learn Bm that once forgotten twice removed EmGA love will be the death the death of you
solo: BmDEmG (x2?)
