(Transcription by Marco Sabatini)
Intro: Gm7 Eb Dm7 -- F Dm7 Eb --- 2X
Verse:
Dm7 Ebmaj7
Sometimes you start to feelin so lost and lonely
Sometimes you keep busy reaching out for something
Sometimes you can’t see that all you need is one thing
Ebmaj7 Bb C/A Dm7 Gm7 Fm7 Ebm7 Dm7
Then you find its all been in your mind
You dont care, theres always something there
If it’s right, you could sleep at night
Dm7 Ebmaj7
Sometimes you think that someone is the one and only
Sometimes you cant see that all you need is one thing
(no third time)
Ebmaj7 Bb C/A Dm7 Gm7
Cant you see? It could be you and me
If its right, you could sleep at night
(no third time)
Fm7 Eb F/Eb Eb F/Eb
But if theres any doubt Then I think Ill leave it out
But it can take some time But at least Im here in line
But it can take some time But at least Im here in line
(n.c.)
cause Ill tell you one thing
Chorus:
Gm7 Eb Dm7 --- F Dm7 Eb ---
You cant get what you want, Til you know what you want
Gm7 Eb Dm7 --- F Dm7 Eb ---
Said you can’t get what you want, Til you know what you want
