Protect Me (From What I Want) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Johnny was cool as Pete
He could sing a song, sugar was sweet
Had a voice of gold but he lost his soul
And now he's [G]living on [Am]the street
Delilah had a pretty face
Born with good looks and grace
Bought a west coast smile
and a Hollywood style
But she never [G]did catch a [Am]break
[G]Protect me from what I [C]want
[G]Give me the strength to
do the [C]right thing
Maybe [F]the [G]best thing's what I [C]got
Right [G]here, right now, it's [C]all that I need
[F]Oh, be [Dm]careful what you [D]wish for
It might [C]bite you in the end
Pro[G]tect me from what I [C]want
Protect [G]me from what I [C]want[F][Am]
Well, Buster was a baseball man
And they cheered him from
the high school stands
Had the chemist [C]swing of
[Am]a home run king
Never bothered with a backup plan
Never met a small town life
At 19 she was a wife
But she never was sure
she had missed the world
So she ran off, [G]never [Am]said goodbye
Pro[G]tect me from what I [C]want
[G]Give me the strength to
do the [C]right thing
[F]Maybe the [G]best thing's what I've [C]got
Right [G]here, right now, it's [C]all that I need
[F]Oh, be [Dm]careful what you wish [D]for
It might [C]bite you in the end
Protect [G]me from what I [C]want
Protect [G]me from what I [C]want[G][C]
These hap[G]piness sticks and hearts
[Am]That don't break for a
second [Em]time[G][C]
When [G]we realize we [Am]might get it right
We need another [Em]life[G][D]
We don't [C]need another life
[Am]No!
Pro[G]tect me from what I [C]want
[G]Give me the strength to
do the [C]right thing
Maybe the be[G]st thing's [D]what I [C]got
[G]Right here, right now, [C]it's all that I [F]need
Oh, pro[G]tect me from what I [C]want
[G]Give me the strength to do
the right [C]thing, [F]baby
The [G]best thing's what I [C]got
Right [G]here, right now's [C]all that I [F]need
Oh, be [Dm]careful what you wish [D]for
It might [C]bite you really bad
[G]Take me from what I wan[C]t
[G]Take me from what I [C]want
[F]Take [G]me from what I wan[C]t
[G]Take me from what I [C]want
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G]
[C]
[F]You

[Outro 1]
