Name: I Want What You Got
Duration: P00H05M42S
Description: I was noodlin' around with an old Beatle's song and came up with this idea. A little rhyming game led to the lyrics. As the song evolved the band worked up a pretty nifty modulation away from the key, and then back again. In the mock up of the recording I did for the band I put in a synth horn section in the lead. I liked it so much, I decided to keep it. Suzie liked singing it right away.

I Want What You Got
by John Beccia

(E7-A7) 4X

E7 A7 E7 A7
So much like an addiction.............. I need you here by my side
E7 A7 E7 A7
Feeling like an affliction.............. that cannot be denied
am C G B7
Know it takes a conviction to show you.....what is inside
E7-A7 E7-A7
CHORUS -
You know I want what you got....You know I want what you got....
G B7 - - - -
You know you got what I really wa................nt
(E7-A7) 4X
You know I want what you got....

E7 A7 E7 A7
Life is just a collection.......... of all the things that we do
E7 A7 E7 A7
Lookin’ for a direction........... for a.feeling that’s true
am C G B7
Tryin’ to make a connection and reach for .....something that’s new
REPEAT CHORUS
G D A7
REFRAIN - When will I ever learn what brings me happiness
G A7 B7
When will I ever know the meaning of success

You know I want what you got....
You know I want what you got....

(B7--C7-C#7-D7) INSTRUMENTAL (gm-C7) - repeated (D7-C#7-C7-B7)

E7 A7 E7 A7
Leave behind reservations........... got to make a new start
E7 A7 E7 A7
With a determination.............. not to tear it apart
am C G B7
There are no explanations, you just....follow your heart
REPEAT CHORUS

G D A7
REFRAIN - When will I ever learn to love the simple things
G A B7
When will I ever know the the joy that love can bring

(E7-A7) repeated over an over
You know I want what you got..
