From: "Dare" (1981)

The basic chords in the verses are F and G and for down-to-earth campfire
singalong that might well be enough. I included the transitional chords
from the keyboard in [ brackets ], too.

[Verse] [ Phil Oakey ]
F [ Gsus4 ] G
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
F [ C ] G
When I met you
F [ Gsus4 ] G
I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around
F [ C ] G
Turned you into someone new
[Verse] [ Phil Oakey ]
F [ Gsus4 ] G
Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet
F [ C ] G
Success has been so easy for you
F [ Gsus4 ] G
But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now
F [ C ] G
And I can put you back there too
[Bridge]
Am Em
Don't, don't you want me?
F
You know I can't believe it
Dm Gsus4 G
When I hear that you won't see me
Am Em
Don't, don't you want me?
F
You know I don't believe you
Dm Gsus4 G
When you say that you don't need me
[Pre-Chorus]
A
It's much too late to find
Bdim
When you think you've changed your mind
C6 E
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry
[Chorus]
F G
Don't you want me, baby?
F G
Don't you want me, oh?
F G
Don't you want me, baby?
F G
Don't you want me, oh?
[Verse] [ Susan Ann Sulley ]
F [ Gsus4 ] G
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
F [ C ] G
That much is true
F [ Gsus4 ] G
But even then I knew I'd find a much better place
F [ C ] G
Either with or without you
[Verse] [ Susan Ann Sulley ]
F [ Gsus4 ] G
The five years we have had have been such good times
F [ C ] G
I still love you
F [ Gsus4 ] G
But now I think it's time I live my life on my own
F [ C ] G
I guess it's just what I must do
[Bridge]
Am Em
Don't, don't you want me?
F
You know I can't believe it
Dm Gsus4 G
When I hear that you won't see me
Am Em
Don't, don't you want me?
F
You know I don't believe you
Dm Gsus4 G
When you say that you don't need me
[Pre-Chorus]
A
It's much too late to find
Bdim
When you think you've changed your mind

You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry

Don't you want me, oh?
