This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

All I Want

Toad the Wet Sprocket

Dm F

Nothing's so loud

C Am7

As hearing when we lie

Dm F

The truth is not kind

C Am7

And you've said neither am I

Dm F C Am7 Dm

but the air outside so soft is saying everything

Am7 Bb

everything

C Am7

All I want is to feel this way

Dm G

to be this close, to feel the same

C Am7

All I want is to feel this way

Dm E7 F Dm F C Am7

the evening speaks, I feel it say....

Nothing's so cold

As closing the heart when all we need

Is to free the soul

But we wouldn't be that brave I know

And the air outside so soft, confessing everything

everything

All I want is to feel this way

To be this close, to feel the same

All I want is to feel this way

The evening speaks, I feel it say....

G Am G F

And it won't matter now

C G F

Whatever happens will be

C G D

Though the air it(?) speaks of all we'll never be

F Dm F C Am7 Dm Am7 Bb

It won't trouble me

All I want is to feel this way

Dm G

To be this close, to feel the same

C Am7

All I want is to feel this way

Dm G

The evening speaks, I feel it say...

C Am7

And it feels so close

Dm G

Let it take me in

C Am7

Let it hold me so

Dm E7 F

I can feel it say
