More tabs for All I Ever Wanted @ 911Tabs
If there is interest, I could go through and do a full tab of the song with all the
string and guitar parts, but this tab only has the few main lines.

Intro
D Bm F#m x3
D Bm F#m
I can only say these things to you while you're sleeping.
D Bm F#m
I hear the the hum from the wires, the sounds of the morning creeping.
D Bm F#m
I lie awake and pretend you can hear me.
D Bm F#m x2
D Bm F#m
You tell that you're scared, that you're turning into your mother,
D Bm F#m
I feel myself turn into my father.
D Bm F#m
We could lie to each other like they do and say we're still happy
D Bm F#m
It's easy when you're young and you still want it so badly.
Bm A G
And I feel my heart pounding
Bm A G
And I think I might scream
D A
I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear
Bm G
I can utter every word you'd ever hope to hear
D A Bm
I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever.
D Bm F#m x2
D Bm F#m
At night you whisper like a ghost and you look so shaken
D Bm F#m
You're so quiet and small and you tell me you want to be taken.
D Bm F#m
I just never think of you as the kind of girl who would say that.
D Bm F#m
You suddenly seem like some faceless thing in my grasp.
Bm A G
With your eyes so wide, your face aglow
Bm A G
Its the face of someone I don't know.
D A
I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear
Bm G
I can utter every word you'd ever hope to hear
D A Bm
I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever.
D Bm F#m x7
Bm A G
And all I could think is that it must be a kind of rebellion.
Bm A G
To arm your fears like soldiers and slay them.
D A
I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear
Bm G
Through the din of your breathing while you're sleeping here.
D A Bm
You wake and ask me if I'm going to be here forever, forever, forever.
D A
Your face so twisted and your eyes alight
Bm G
I want to tell you I can change it when you cry at night
D A Bm
But I'd be lying.
D A Bm
Love is defying.
End on D
