The White Stripes - Take, Take, Take    (Album: Get Behind Me Satan (2005))
 
G       Bb                     F
  I was sittin' there, I had a comfortable chair
                          G
  And that was all that I needed
G                Bb           F
  Then my friend offered me a drink for us to share
                          G
  And that was all that I needed
        Bb5    C5      Bb5                     D5      F5'     D5
  Well, then I felt at ease;   But then, I'm not too hard to please
              F5`     (F#5)    G
  I guess you couldn't call me greedy
 
And I was shocked to look up and see Rita Hayworth there       
In a place so seedy                                              
She walked into the bar with her long red curly hair             
And that was all that I needed
And I said to my friend
"Good God we're lucky men;      Well, to just even see her"
 
CHORUS:
(Played 2x):
1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +   1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +   1   +   2   +   3   +   4
G5          G5  G5          Bb5 Bb5 F5  F5          Bb5 Bb5 F5  F5              Bb5 Bb5 F5
 
G5, G5 , Bb5, Bb5, F5, F5,    Bb5, Bb5, F5, F5,    Bb5, Bb5, F5, G5
                      Take,                take,               take!    (x3)
 
Yeah, I could not resist, I just had to get close to her
And that was all that I needed
I walked and loomed around her table for a while
And that was all that I needed
Then I said, "I hate to bug you, Ma'am
But can I have your autograph?";         And that was all that I needed
 
 
She pressed her lips against a white piece of paper
And that was all that I needed
Then I saw what she wrote, my heart is in my mouth
And that was all that I needed
Then she handed it to me
And I think that she could see;  That that was all that I needed
 
I started to walk away, but then I remembered, hey
I forgot to get a picture
So I asked her one more time, could I have another favor
That was all that I needed
She was kind to pose with me
Then I know my friends would see;  My celebrity meeting
 
[CHORUS]
 
She turned and said to me, "I need to go to sleep"
And it seemed so mean
It's almost as if she did not appreciate
How cool I was being
She said, "Goodnight" and walked away
And I didn't know what to say;  I just couldn't believe it
 
Well it's just not fair, I wanted to get a piece of hair
And that was all that I needed
Or maybe a kiss on the cheek, I wouldn't wash it for a week
That would be all that I needed
But she didn't even care
That I was even there;  What a horrible feeling
