( Bm   G   D  A) x2
(Bm) There she (G) goes ( D  A)
Little (Bm) black dress (G) on ( D  A)
Standing (Bm) with the other (G) girls
Wearing (G) velvet and (A) pearls
Looking (Bm) so fine, (G) so fine ( D  A)
(A) All the times that she tried to catch my (F#m) eye
Now I hear that she's crushing on another (G) guy
Why do we always want what we can't (A) have
Chorus
(Bm) I never really (G) wanted, (D) never really (A) wanted that (Bm) girl
I never really (G) wanted, (D) wanted her (A) in my (Bm) world
I never really (G) wanted that (D) girl, oh but (A) now I (G) do
(Bm G D A) x2
Never (Bm) noticed (G) how ( D  A)
A woman's (Bm) eyes can (G) dance ( D  A)
But from the (Bm) outside (G) in looks like 
They're (D) dancin' for (A) him
Leaves me (Bm) wondering, (G) wondering ( D  A)
(A) Why is it now I see her in a different (F#m) light
If I could turn back time I would (G) tonight
Why do we always want what we can't (A) have
Chorus
( Bm   G   D  A) x3  G  
(A) You better get that girl while the gettin's (F#m) good
There's list of fools that wish they (G) could
Why do we always want what we can't (Em) have
(D) I never really (A) wanted, (G) never really (A) wanted that (D) girl
I never really (A) wanted, (G) wanted her (A) in my (D) world
I never really (A) wanted that (G) girl, oh but (A) now I (G) do
Chorus 
( Bm   G   D  A) x 4 Bm
