Is it too much to ask? I want a comfortable bed that won't hurt my back Food to fill me up And warm clothes and all that stuff Shouldn't I have this, Shouldn't I have this? Shouldn't I have all of this, and Passionate kisses Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh Passionate kisses from | you Is it too much to demand I want a full house and a rock and roll band Pens that won't run out of ink And cool quiet and time to think {chorus} {Guitar solo; mostly the same chords as the verse, but it goes to instead of .} Do I want too much? Am I going overboard to want that touch? I shouted out to the night Give me what I deserve, 'cause it's my right {chorus} {Repeat chorus, then fade on intro chords} Someone met John Jenning's (MCC's guitarist) after a concert and asked him how he plays this song in concert; he wrote it down in standard musical notation, and I converted it to tablature. (But there's no guarantee that this is where John Jennings puts his fingers.) The ">" marks are accents.
