I took what I wanted. But I didn't have what I
E A E
want. Balled up and sprawled out. Flame on the seat of the
E A E
couch. Seemingly intangible I cup it, re-
E A E
kindle it, and ward the wind.

I live in this heat, I freeze in it's wrath.

I live in this heat, I can't win.
The only confusing part about this song is the timing, especially during the verses. If
want to know exactly when to play the chords or hit the vocals, this is what the time
down to for the first verse:
1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 +
I
took what I wan - ted
but I didn't have what I
want balled up sprawled out
flame on the seat of the
couch seem-ing- ly in - tan - gi - ble I
cup it re -
kind - le it and
ward the wind
The other verse is similar. Also, I'm not sure if all the lyrics were correct as I just
them down from listening. But anyway, hope this gives you the hang of it. - Doc Brown
