Tom : D
[INTRO RIFF]
[MAIN RIFF]
[Verse 1]
G D
You see 'em comin' at you every night
Strung on pretension- they
fall for you at first sight
G D
You know their business, you think it's a bore
They make you restless, it's
nothin' you ain't seen before
[Chorus]
E
Get around town, spend your time on the run
G A
You never let down, say you do it for fun
E
Never miss a play, though you make quite a few
G D
You give it all away - Everybody wants you
[Main Riff]
[Verse 2]
G D
You crave attention, you can never say "no"
Throw your affections any way the wind blows
G D
You always make it, you're on top of the scene
You sell the copy like the cover of a magazine
[Chorus]
E
Puttin' on the eyes 'til there's nobody else
G A
You never realize what you do to yourself
E
The things that they see make the daily reviews
G D
You never get free - everybody wants you
[Main Riff]
[BRIDGE RIFF]
A|-x--------------|
E|-x--------------|
Everybody knows you - Everybody snows you
D E D
Everybody needs you, leads you, bleeds you
[BRIDGE END FILL 3x then bend low G at end]
E|------------3---| Uh!
[Main Riff - loud then quiet]
[Verse 3]
G D
Nights of confusion and impossible dreams
Days at the mirror, patchin' up around the seams
G D
You got your glory, you paid for it all
You take your pension in loneliness and alcohol
[Chorus]
E
Say goodbye to conventional ways
G A
You can't escape the hours, you lose track of the days
E
The more you understand, seems the more like you do
G D
You never get away – Everybody wants you
[MAIN RIFF Out]
Everybody wants you...
