I want to be in love - By Melissa Etheridge
From the albumn - Skin.
A great songwriter and truely wonderfull entertainer,
catch a concert if you can, there aren't many ladies out there
who can play guitar like Melissa.
This song is pretty straightforward, standard chords,Sus2 here and there.
It's the voice and rhythm that make it one you'll want to sing along to.
This is my first submissiom - been playing for a year so please forgive
any mistakes - I think it's pretty close to the original.

Intro - based around sus2 of the main chords
A(sus2) A, D(sus2) D, Bm7, D(sus2) D, A(sus2)A x 2
I have [Bm7]climbed the highest mountain
I have [D]sailed across the sea
I have [A]wrestled with my demons
And woke [A]up with only me
I have [Bm7]been around the block
[D]Three times, maybe four
And [F#m]I think I deser[A]ve just a little [Esus4]more.[E]
In f[A]ront of total strangers won't you [A]kiss me
F[D]lowers for no reason but you [D]miss me
[Bm7]Oh oh [D]I wanna be in [A]love[A]
You're [A]standing on the doorstep in the [A]rain
Cos you [D]couldn't wait to see me once [D]again
[Bm7]Oh oh [D]I want to be in [A]love[A]
I have [Bm7]made some big mistakes
And I've [D]paid a heavy price
I've [A]found a little peace between w[A]ill and sacrifice
I have [Bm7]watched as all my dreams
Went w[D]alking out the door
And I[F#m] think I deserv[A]e just a little [Esus4]more[E]
In f[A]ront of total strangers won't you [A]kiss me
Fl[D]owers for no reason but you m[D]iss me
[Bm7]Oh oh I[D] want to be in l[A]ove[A]
[F#m]I'm looking [F#m]for a heart of g[A]old
I'm looking [A]for a hand to [Bm7]hold
A happy e[D]nd
Strong and [F#m]kind
Somewhere to r[A]est my troubled [Esus4]mind[E]
In f[A]ront of total strangers won't you k[A]iss me
Fl[D]owers for no reason but you m[D]iss me
[Bm7]Oh oh I[D] want to be in l[A]ove[A]
On [A]Tuesday light the candles bring the [A]wine
Wednesday [D]morning I won't get to work on [D]time
[Bm7]Oh I w[D]ant to be in l[A]ove[A]
Surpr[A]ise me as I'm stepping off the p[A]lane
Take my [D]hand as they play our song a[D]gain
[Bm7]Oh I[D] want to be in l[A]ove[A]
repeat and fade to end....In front of total strangers........
