D G D G D G A D

          D           G          D            G 
There’s a starry eyed woman that lives up the road
D             G               A            D
Pick her wild flowers, oh and she tells me no
  D          G      D           G
I don’t know why, I want her so bad
          D      G         A         D 
Guess you always want what you can’t have


Chorus:
  D            G               D               G  
I guess that’s life, oh that’s just the way it goes
         D                   G                           A            D
Well you won’t get something in your hands that you aint never got to hold
      D                G                D                G  
And I don’t know why I need her, she’s about to drive me mad
                D      G         A         D 
But I guess you always want what you can’t have


There’s a little piece of land, where I used to go
The river runs clear and wild, oh and at times it moves slow
Your man he won’t sell it, no matter how much I ask
Guess you always want what you can’t have

Chorus 1:
I guess that’s life, oh that’s just the way it goes
Well you won’t get something in your hands that you aint never got to hold
And I drive past that old man’s land; I just shake my head and laugh
I guess you always want what you can’t have

Chorus 2:
I guess that’s life, oh that’s just the way it goes
Well you won’t get something in your hands that you aint never got to hold
And I don’t know why we need it; it makes us forget what we had
But I guess you always want what you can’t have
