Vanessa Carlton: Wanted

tabbed by: Birdmad Girl (thefootmandidit@hotmail.com)

This song is in 4/4 time and the verses consist mostly of rapid triplets, 
with the base note of each chord (ie the first note of each triplet) being 
played in the bass. The song is in the key of G minor. So all Bs and Es are 
FLATTENED. I indicate minims and other extended notes using '=' rather than 
'-'.

"I have wandered far and wide for something real, something to die for."

Figure 3 (exactly the same as Figure 2, but base notes are played in 2 
octaves, also played twice)

"But I have found you and you do not see all that is me, all that is true."

you will see. More than wanted."

Figure 5 (verse 2) Play 3 times, then straight on to Figure 6 to end the 
verse.

"And as you float the flimsy surface, you should know life lies beneath it.
And don't pretend you feel what I feel, for"

Figure 6 (end of verse 2). NOTE TIME CHANGE to 2/4 and back to 4/4.

"You don't really hear what I say."

Figure 9 (bridge part b). Looks complicated but trust me, it's not. Play 
twice, but change final cord to F (F,A,C) and hold for eight beats and then 
rest a bar (where Carlton does her vocal improvisation on "say").

"I know, I know you are waiting for something to raid. I know, I know you 
wish you could be more than you say."

Now reprise Figures 1 and 2 for Verse 3 (lyrics same as Verse 1). Then 
reprise Figure 4 for the chorus and follow immediately with Figure 7, which 
is basically the same but the bass is doubled. Keep playing the triplets 
over and over during the following lyrics:

"More than you'll love, more than you'll hate, more than you'll hold, more 
than wanted. More than you'll crave, more than you'll cherish, more than 
you'll have, more than wanted."
