verse 1 
    C#m 
The people and tables are set to the bone 
    B 
The ladies in waiting long to go home 
C#m 
Wallflowers drooping against pastel shades 
B 
Oh for a man with no lock on his gate 
C#m 
Waiting for nothing confuses the mind 
B 
Letting go pieces for no one to find 
    C#m 
The smell from the afternoon sits in the air 
   B 
Oh for a man with no back to his chair 


[Refrão]
C#m 
I never wanted I never wanted 
B 
And I never got I never got 
C#m 
I never wanted I never once wanted 
B 
And I never got I never once got 

verse 2 
C#m 
Sweeping the outskirts and keeping the jar 
B 
Something had been telling me you were not far 
       C#m 
From a jewel in a casket to a pearl in a shell 
B 
Oh for a man with no stories to tell 


[Refrão]
C#m 
I never wanted I never wanted 
B 
And I never got I never got 
C#m 
I never wanted I never once wanted 
B 
And I never got I never once got
