[Verse 1]
              C#5                C#(b5)
Do you derive joy when someone else succeeds?
                F#5/C#                     C#
Do you not play dirty when engaged in competition?
              C#5             C#(b5)
Do you have a big intellectual capacity
              F#5/C#                      C#
But know that it alone does not equate to wisdom?
             C#5            C#(b5)
Do you see everything as an illusion
            F#5/C#                      C#
But enjoy it even though you are not of it?
             C#5                        C#(b5)
Are you both masculine and feminine, politically aware,
            F#5/C#                  C#
and don't believe in capital punishment?
 
[Chorus 1]
C#*                C#(b5)*     F#5/C#*    C#*
 These are 21 things that I want in a lover
C#*                   C#(b5)*      F#5/C#*       C#*
 Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer
 
[Verse 2]
              C#5                   C#(b5)
Do you derive joy from diving in and seeing that
       F#5/C#                          C#
Loving someone can actually feel like freedom?
        C#5           C#(b5)
Are you funny and self-deprecating,
                F#5/C#                   C#
like adventure, and have many formed opinions?
 
[Chorus 2]
C#*                C#(b5)*     F#5/C#*    C#*
 These are 21 things that I want in a lover
C#*                   C#(b5)*      F#5/C#*       C#*
 Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer
C#*                     C#(b5)*
 I figure I can describe it since I have a choice
F#5/C#*       C#*
 in the matter
C#*                C#(b5)*             F#5/C#*    C#*
 These are 21 things I choose to choose in a lover
 
[Bridge]
        F#               A         E/G#
I'm in no hurry; I could wait forever
         F#               A          E/G#
I'm in no rush 'cause I like being solo
        F#                      A         E/G#
There are no worries and certainly no pressure
       F#                               C#*
In the meantime, I'll live like there's no tomorrow
 
[Verse 3]
        C#5            C#(b5)
Are you uninhibited in bed,
                        F#5/C#
more than three times a week,
                   C#
up for being experimental?
       C#5
Are you athletic?
             C#(b5)                       F#5/C#
Are you thriving in a job that helps your brother?
              C#
Are you not addicted?
 
[Chorus 3]
C#*                C#(b5)*     F#5/C#*    C#*
 These are 21 things that I want in a lover
C#*                   C#(b5)*      F#5/C#*       C#*
 Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer
C#*                     C#(b5)*
 I figure I can describe it since I have a choice
F#5/C#        C#*
 on the matter
C#*                C#(b5)*             F#5/C#*    C#*
 These are 21 things I choose to choose in a lover
