[Intro]
E   B/Eb  E7  AM7   Am7

[Verse 1]
E                       B/Eb
..I've been oversleeping so much
that I've been bored of dreaming
     E7                   AM7
And just wake up, not next to you
E                        B/Eb
..In this paper town where I live,
                     E7
boxes pass along and I wish
                               AM7
That I was sitting in one with you
     Am7
With you

[Chorus]
E
..I will be your friend,
but love you in my soul
B/Eb
..I'll never feel another way,
just thought I'd let you know
         AM7
You've knocked me to the floor
Since the moment I saw you
       Am7
Every minute, every hour,
if you'll have me, I want you

[Verse 2]
E                         B/Eb
..You've been overthinking
so much,
the traffic in your head
     E7
Oh, they rush at the
                   AM7  Am7
thought of someone new
E                        B/Eb
..Laur?n, why can't you accept it?
                           AM7
I love you and I'm not pret?nding
                          Am7
when I say those words to you

[Chorus]
E
..I will be your friend,
but love you in my soul
B/Eb
..I'll never feel another way,
just thought I'd let you know
         AM7
You've knocked me to the floor
Since the moment I saw you
       Am7
Every minute, every hour,
if you'll have me, I want you Lo

[Bridge]
F#m                   B7
If I learn to love myself,
will it keep you
                       E
from loving someone else?
I don't know,
I don't know, I don't know
    F#m
If learning to love
would cost my life,
      B7                   Am7
I'd spend it all on you and I

[Chorus]
E
..I will be your friend,
but love you in my soul
B/Eb
..I'll never feel another way,
just thought I'd let you know
         AM7
You've knocked me to the floor
Since the moment I saw you
       Am7
Every minute, every hour,
                           E
if you'll have me, I want you

How to play I Want You: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for I Want You by Stephen Sanchez on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

I Want You by Stephen Sanchez is in the key of E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). The song uses 7 chords: E, B/Eb, E7, AM7, Am7, F#m and B7.

Most of the song cycles through AM7 – Am7 – E – B/Eb (IVmaj7 – iv7 – I – V in E major). In solfa, that is fah – fah – doh – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: on guitar, B/Eb and F#m need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
