      [Verse 1]
Em
I know I got a bad reputation
G
and it isn't just talk, talk, talk
Am               C            
If I could only give you everything
Em                  D  C
You know I haven't got
Em
I couldn't have one conversation
G
If it wasn't for the lies, lies, lies
Am                   C              
And still I ought to tell you everything
Em                  D7
'till I close my eyes

[Chorus]
             G        C
Suddenly I'm on the street
D                G        C     D7
Seven years disappear below my feet
               Em
Been breaking down
                Am
Do you want me now?
                D7
Do you want me now?
                        G        C
Suddenly I'm down in Herald Square
D                          G      C       D7
Looking in the crowd, your face is everywhere
              Em 
Been turning 'round
              Am
Do you want me now?
                D7
Do you want me now?

[Verse 2]
Em
Don't try to be an inspiration
G
Just wasting your time, time, time
Am                 C                
You know about the best I'll ever be
Em               D  C
See it in your eyes
Em
I know I got a bad reputation
G
and it isn't just talk, talk, talk
Am                 C             
If I could only give you everything
Em                     D7
You know I haven't got

[Chorus]
             G        C
Suddenly I'm on the street
D                  G       C      D
Seven years disappear below my feet
                 Em
Been breaking down
                Am
Do you want me now?
                   D7
Do you want me now?
                  G       C
Suddenly I'm in another place
D                       G        C         D
Looking in the crowd I think I see your face
                Em
Been turning around

[Interlude]
                Am
Do you want me now?
               D7
Do you want me now?

Em              Am
 (Down, Down, down)
Do you want me now?
                D
Do you want me now?

Em                        Am
(Down, Down, down)
Do you want me now?
               D
Do you want me now?
(Down, Down, down)

[Bridge]
                      G         C
Don't you think I've heard the talk?
D                  G       C         D
Nobody's going to tell me who to love

              Em
Been breaking down
                Am
Do you want me now?
                D7
Do you want me now?

[Chorus]
                      G      C
Suddenly I'm down in Herald Square
D                           G       C      D
Looking in the crowd, your face is everywhere
                 Em
Just turning around
                Am
Do you want me now?
                 D7
Do you want me now?

              Em
Been breaking down
                Am
Do you want me now?
                D7
Do you want me now?
                   Em          Am          D
I'm just breaking down, down, down, down, down
               Em         Am           D
Been breaking down, down, down, down, down
               Em          Am          D
Been breaking down, down, down, down, down
Em
