Is This What You Wanted Leonard Cohen
Capo 5th fret
[A]You were the promise at dawn[A7]
[D]I was the morning aft[A]er
[A]You were Jesus Christ my Lord[A7]
[D]I was the money lend[A]er
[D]You were the sensitive woman
[A]I was the very reverend Freud
[D]You were the manual orgasm
[A]I was the dirty little b[E]oy
And is t[F#m]his what you wanted
To l[G]ive in a house that is ha[F#m]unted
By the gh[E]ost of you and m[A]e
Is th[F#m]is what you wanted
To l[G]ive in a house that is ha[F#m]unted
By the gh[E]ost of you and [A]me
You were Marlon Brando
I was Steve McQueen
You were K Y Jelly
I was Vaseline
You were the father of modern medicine
I was Mr Clean
You were the whore and the beast of Babylon
I was Rin Tin Tin
And is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me
And is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me
You got old and wrinkled
I stayed seventeen
You lusted after so many
I lay here with one
You defied your solitude
I came through alone
You said you could never love me
I undid your gown
And is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me
And is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me
I mean is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me
That's right, is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
