[Em] [Am] [B7]
Are you [Em] really here, or am I [Am] dreaming, I can’t [B7] tell dreams from truth
For it’s been so [Em] long, since I have seen [Am] you, I can [Bm] hardly remember your face anymore
When [Em] I get really [Am] lonely and the [B7] distance causes only silence
[Em] I think of you [Am] smiling with , [B7] pride in your eyes a lover that sighs


[Em] If you [Am] want me [Bm] satis[Em]fy me
[Em] If you [Am] want me [Bm] satis[Em]fy me


Are you really [Em] sure that you be[Am]lieve me, when [B7] others say I lie
I wonder if you [Em] could ever des[Am]pise me, when you [B7] know I really tried
To be a [Em] better one to [Am] satisfy you for you’re [B7] everything to me
And [Em] I’ll do what you [Am] ask me, if you [B7] let me be free


[Em] If you [Am] want me [Bm] satis[Em]fy me
[Em] If you [Am] want me [Bm] satis[Em]fy me


[Em][Am][Bm][Em]
[Em] If you [Am] want me [Bm] satis[Em]fy me
[Em] If you [Am] want me [Bm] satis[Em]fy me
