Artist: Alicia Keys
[VERSE]
[G]Some people live f[C]or the fortune
[G]Some people live j[C]ust for the fame
[G]Some people live f[C]or the power yeah
[G]Some people live j[C]ust to play the ga[Am]me
[BRIDGE]
[G]Some people t[Am]hink that the [Bm]physical [Am]things
[G]Define [Am]what's wi[Bm]thin
[Am]I've [G]been there[Am] before
[Bm]But that life's [Am]a bore
[G]So full of[Am] the superf[Bm]icial
[CHORUS]
(octave up)
[G]Some peo[Am]ple want it[Bm] all
[Bm] [C] (stacatto) [Bm]
But I don't want nothing at all
[Am]If it ain't you baby
[G]If I ain't got you baby
[G]Some peop[Am]le want di[Bm]amond rings
[Bm] [C] (stacatto) [Bm]
Some just want everything
[Am]But everything means nothing
[G]If I ain't got you
[VERSE]
Some people search for a fountain
Promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them
[BRIDGE]
And in a world on a silver platter
And wondering what it means
No one to share, no one who truly cares for me
[CHORUS]
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you with me baby
Nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby
[G]Some people live f[C]or the fortune
[G]Some people live j[C]ust for the fame
[G]Some people live f[C]or the power yeah
[G]Some people live j[C]ust to play the ga[Am]me
