Someone there in the shadows

Em
Whatever you wanted
Em
Slipped out of my mind
Em
Would you remind me again
Em
If you'd be so kind
Em
Has the record been breaking
Em
Did the needle just skip
Em
Is there somebody waiting
Em
Was there a slip of the lip?
[Verse]
Am
What was it you wanted
Am
I ain't keeping score
Am
Are you the same person
Am
That was here before?
Dm7
Is it something important?
Dm/A
Maybe not
Am
What was it you wanted?
Am
Tell me again I forgot

Em
Whatever you wanted
Em
What could it be
Em
Did somebody tell you
Em
That you could get it from me
Em
Is it something that comes natural
Em
Is it easy to say
Em
Why do you want it
Em
Who are you anyway?
[Verse]
Am
Is the scenery changing
Am
Am I getting it wrong
Am
Is the whole thing going backwards
Am
Are they playing our song?
Dm7
Where were you when it started
Dm/A
Do you want it for free
Am
What was it you wanted
Am
Are you talking to me?
