Everything You Want – Vertical Horizon

 

VERSE 1

Am                    Em      G             Cadd9

Somewhere they're speaking, it's already coming in, 
Am           G          Cadd9

oh and it's rising, in the back of your mind. 
Am              Em          G      Cadd9

You never could get it,    unless you were fed it 
Am              G               Cadd9

and now you're here and you don't know why 
Am    Em  G Cadd9

But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Am    G   Cadd9

Past the places where you used to learn
Am    Em  G Cadd9

You howl and listen Listen and wait for the
Am   G      Cadd9

Echoes of angels who won't return
CHORUS

     Am            G            Cadd9            D

He's everything you want, he's everything you need, 
Am       G                Cadd9                 D

He's everything inside of you that you wish you could be 
Am             G        Cadd9           D

He says all the right things at exactly the right time, 
Am                Em                D           C

But he means nothing to you and you don't know why 
VERSE 2

You're waiting for someone to put you together

You're waiting for someone to push you away

There's always another wound to discover

There's always something more you wish he'd say 
[repeat chorus]
BRIDGE

Em                    Cadd9                     Em

And you'll just sit tight, and watch it unwind, 
D    C

It's only what you're asking for. 
Em                    Cadd9                      Em

nd you'll be just fine, with all of your time 
D     Cadd9

It's only what you're waiting for. 
[repeat chorus]
VERSE 3

Out of the island into the highway

Past the places where you might have turned

You never did notice but you still hide away

The anger of angels who won't return 
[repeat chorus]
OUTRO

I am everything you want

I am everything you need

I am everything inside of you

That you wish you could be

I say all the right things

At exactly the right time

But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why

And I don't know why

Why I don't know
