E                    C#m 
Waiting down at the station 
            A 
I don't remember 
                E 
I think it was late then 
 C#m                  A 
Standing, always so quiet 
             E 
We're like elevators 
                  A 
Filled up with strangers 
  
 A                 E 
No sound, no Hallelujahs 
              C#m                    E 
Still I was praying on the train ride home 
                     C#m 
If I can't get the things I want 
                     A 
If I can't get the things I want 
                  E      C#m A 
Just give me what I need 

 E                     C#m 
Our words fill up the pages 
             A 
Fill up the days with 
               E 
Songs for the ages 
  C#m                      A 
Still those browse and we all speak 
                    E 
We break down like concrete 
                   A 
And just make our words cheap 

A                   E 
I want someone to grow with 
             C#m 
Songs I can sing to 
                  E 
And a family to cling to 
                         C#m 
But if I can't get the things I want 
                     A 
If I can't get the things I want 
                  E      C#m 
Just give me what I need 
                  A       E 
Just give me what I need
