            Is This What You Wanted -  Leonard Cohen

[Verse 1]
D
You were the promise at dawn,
G                     D
I was the morning after.
D
You were Jesus Christ my Lord,
G                  D
I was the money lender.
G
You were the sensitive woman,
D
I was the very reverend Freud.
G
You were the manual orgasm,
D                      A   
I was the dirty little boy.

[Chorus]
       Bm
And is this what you wanted
C                          Bm
to live in a house that is haunted
       A                D
by the ghost of you and me?
       Bm
And is this what you wanted
C                          Bm
to live in a house that is haunted
       A                D
by the ghost of you and me?

[Verse 2]
D
You were Marlon Brando
G           D
I was Steve Mcqueen
D
You were K.Y. jelly
G          D
I was Vaseline
G
You were the father of modern medicine
D
I was Mr. Clean
G
You where the whore and the beast of Babylon
D             A   
I was Rin-Tin-Tin

[Chorus]
       Bm
And is this what you wanted
C                          Bm
to live in a house that is haunted
       A                D
by the ghost of you and me?
       Bm
And is this what you wanted
C                          Bm
to live in a house that is haunted
       A                D
by the ghost of you and me?

[Verse 3]
D
You got old and wrinkled
G              D
I stayed seventeen
D
You lusted after so many
G              D
I lay here with one
G
You defied your solitude
D
I came through alone
G
You said you could never love me
D             A 
I undid your gown

[Chorus]
       Bm
And is this what you wanted
C                          Bm
to live in a house that is haunted
       A                D
by the ghost of you and me?
       Bm
And is this what you wanted
C                          Bm
to live in a house that is haunted
       A                D
by the ghost of you and me?

[Outro]
          Bm
I mean is this what you wanted...
C                          Bm
to live in a house that is haunted
       A                D
by the ghost of you and me?
          Bm
That's right, is this what you wanted...
C                          Bm
to live in a house that is haunted
