Intro: 
G G/F# Em Cadd9 Dsus4 X2 

G 

verse 1: 
G      G/F#                     Em 
So I hear your rebuilding your life 
    Cadd9 
Down in Mexico way 
   Dsus4                  G 
To act out your favorite play 
G/F#               Em 
With your cat and piano  
         Cadd9      
I always new you could play 
            Dsus4 
I knew you better than your friends would suggest 
G     G/F#                Em 
The one who's laid claim to being your best 

Well that's always the way 
  
When you want something  

That's always the way  

When you want something you can't have 

When you want something you can't have 

verse 2: (same chords as verse 1) 
You were my favourite one 
But I suppose that's  
Fallen on deaf ears 
Because of the way that it was left 
It was in the hands of the gods the sods 
There an un ruley mob and on there CV  
They can now write down theft 

Chorus: 
(same chords as verse 1) 
Something's they are not for the best 
And that's always the way 
When you want something  
That's always the way  
When you want something you can't have 

Bridge: 

                   Bm  
That's always the way  
         Cm                     G 
When you want something you can't have 
                   Bm 
That's always the way  
         Cm                     G 
When you want something you can't have 

Same chords as verse 1: 
I never wanted this to happen this way 
When do we ever a little time called never 
Retrospect is such a cruel invention 
No cruel intentions not a single bad 

I never wanted this to happen this way 
When do we ever a little time called never 
Retrospect is such a cruel invention 
No cruel intentions 
I want something I can't have
