I Want You Around Chords & Lyrics by Fountains of Wayne
I Want You Around
guitar chords lyrics
This is track 11 from disc 1 of FOW's Out of State Plates Release. It is a very
rough demo home recording. I love the song and I think it's another example of
FOW's great writing ability.
This is probably only my 3rd tab and I did my last one years ago so I'm hoping
this one turns out alright. I guarantee it's better than the tab that wasn't
there before. You may have to change the key, but I think the progression is
correct. I'm pretty sure the Cmaj7 is correct but the G6 could probably just be
played as a standard G.
This tab is dedicated to Jessica I., one of the most special people I've ever
met. I want you around.
Intro: E-Cmaj7-G6-D x 2
Verse 1:
E Cmaj7 G D
On this day, I'm walking a fine line, Imagine in my mind

As if I'm okay, tougher than nylon, safe as a house on the way

My little darlin', don't you cry, it makes you look older.

Verse 2:
E Cmaj7 G D
Here's my plan, I'm losing the halo, it's time to lay low.

Man, some plan, come the high water, I'll be a drowning man.

Em
My little darlin', don't you cry, it makes you look older.

Bridge:
Am C G
While I'm doing battle with myself and me, I'm doing battle with gravity

And I can't face myself alone. I can't stand to be alone with me.
