written by Andy Partridge (XTC)

(Drum and claps)

E
Love’s what I want
       A
What I want for us all
     F#m                      G   B
Yes, sir, it’s all we have to give
E
Love’s what I want
       A
What I want for us all
     F#m                         G    G   B
Yes, ma’am, it’s the only way to live

E      B7     E        B7
I know it’s a dark old world
     E        B7   E    B7
When we can’t get along
E      B7        E    B7
I just have this one idea
    E      B7    E
And put it in my song

        F#m                            F#mMaj7
There’s crazy folks out there who will take your dreams away
    F#m7                    B9
For some strange reason or another
   Em                               EmMaj7
Perhaps they never had that someone saying "I love you"
   Em7                                A9     B7
Perhaps they weren’t cuddled by their mother

E
Love’s what I want
       A
What I want for us all
     F#m                      G    B
Yes, sir, it’s all we have to give
E
Love’s what I want
       A
What I want for us all
     F#m                         G    G   B
Yes, ma’am, it’s the only way to live

E      B7     E        B7
I know it’s a dark old globe
     E      B7       E     B7
With sorrow black as pitch
E     B7       E       B7
I bet we could make it bright
   E        B7       E
If we could find the switch

        F#m                            F#mMaj7
There’s crazy folks out there who will take your dreams away
    F#m7                     B9
And think it’s all about the money
   Em                               EmMaj7
Perhaps they never had that someone special in their life
        Em7                      A9    B7
That someone who would call them honey

E
Love’s what I want
       A
What I want for us all
     F#m                      G    B
Yes, sir, it’s all we have to give
E
Love’s what I want
       A
What I want for us all
     F#m                         G    G   B
Yes, ma’am, it’s the only way to live

E
(drum and claps)

E
Love’s what I want
       A
What I want for us all
F#m
Love’s what I want
       G           B
What I want for us all
E
Love’s what I want
       A
What I want for us all
     F#m                         G    B
Yes, ma’am, it’s the only way to live
(Love’s what I want, what I want for us all)
E
Love’s what I want
       A
What I want for us all
     F#m                         G     B
Yes, ma’am, it’s the only way to live
(Love’s what I want, what I want for us all)
    E
Why don’t you be like me?
    A
Why don’t you stop and see?
    F#m
Why don’t you hate who I hate
         G            B
Kill who I kill to be free?
    E
Why don’t you be like me?
    A
Why don’t you stop and see?
F#m            G    B                     E
Love is all we need    Love’s all we need
E
