Verse 
 
F                                      G 
You were working as a waitress in some cocktail bar, 
F          G 
when I met you. 
F                                        G 
I picked you out, and pulled you up, and turned you around, 
F                       G 
turned you into someone new. 
F                                      G 
Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet, 
F                           G 
success has been so easy on you. 
F                                             G 
But don't forget that I'm the one who put you where you are now, 
F                       G 
I can put you back down too. 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Am               Em 
Don't, don't you want me? 
F                                     G 
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me. 
Am               Em 
Don't, don't you want me? 
F                                    G 
You know I can't believe it When you say that you won't see me. 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Am 
Now I wait to find, 
Bm 
you have changed your mind, 
C                              E 
you'd better change it back or we will both be sorry.

F                 G 
Don't you want me baby? 
F                  G 
Don't you want me, oh? 
F                 G

verse 2 
F                                G 
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, 
F            G 
that much is true. 
F                               G 
But even then I knew I'd find a much better place, 
F                      G 
either with or without you. 
F                                    G 
The five years we have had have been such good times, 
F            G 
I still love you. 
F                                   G 
But now I think it's time I live my life on my own, 
F                             G 
I guess it's just what I must do. 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Am               Em 
Don't, don't you want me? 
F                                    G 
You know I can't believe it when you say that you won't see me. 
Am               Em 
Don't, don't you want me? 
F                                     G 
You know I don't believe you When you say that you don't need me. 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Am 
Now I wait to find, 
Gm 
you've changed your mind, 
C                              E 
you'd better change it back or we will both be sorry.
