I Want It, (And I Want It Now!)
Words & Music by Chris de Burgh
Just vocal (whisper): I want it now, now.
Bm7 G A Bm7
Four in the morning and I just can't sleep,
G A Bm7
I've got a craving now for something sweet,
G D
So I head off for my local all-night supermarket,
Em A
When I get there, it's deserted;
Bm7 G A
And now I'm standing at the chocolate shelf,
Bm7 G A Bm7
Under the sign that says "Help yourself,
G D
If you really gotta have it, then we really gotta sell it to you,
Em Asus4
This is for people who say;
A C D G - Em
I want it, and I want it now,
C D G
I want it, and I just can't wait,
C D G - D/F# - Em
I want it, and I want it now,
C D G
I want it and I will not wait,
Bm7
Ooh ooh ooh.
(Whisper:) I want it now!"
Bm7 G A Bm7
I sit at home and when I watch TV,
G A Bm7
I gotta have remote control with me,
G D
Oh and when I'm watching football, I can go to total recall,
Em D/A A
I've got freeze-frame, I got slow-mo;
Bm7 G A Bm7
This is the way that it was meant to be,
G A Bm7
You gotta get ready for the century,
G D
I'm a total modern man, and I got total modern plans,
Em Asus4 - A
And it's so easy when you say;
C D G - D/F# - Em
I want it, and I want it now,
C D G
I want it, and I just can't wait,
C D G - D/F# - Em
I want it, and I want it now,
C
I gotta get a feel to try,
D
I gotta get a meal inside,
Em
I gotta get a deal tonight,
D
I gotta say,
G/D G Gm/Bb Cadd9
I want it now, I want it now, I want it now,
G
And I just can't wait!
Bm7 - G - A - Bm7 - G - A - Bm7 - G - D/F# - Em - D/A

I want it now,
Cadd9 G
I want it now, and I just can't wait;
I want it now,
I want it now,
I want it now, and I just can't wait;
Gm/Bb
Here it is the new sensation, listen to the new generation,
Cadd9 G
"We want something, we want it now!"

You don't need no invitation, listen to the new conversation,
Cadd9 G
"We want something, we want it now!"

We want it now;
Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
We want it now;
Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
Cadd9 G
I want it and I want it now.
